Four (Acts of Love) is the sixth studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Mick Harvey – and his second since leaving Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. It was released in June 2013 under Mute Records. The 14 tracks make up a song cycle, bookended by "Praise the Earth (Wheels of Amber and Gold)" and "Praise the Earth (An Ephemeral Play)". The album includes eclectic covers including The Saints' punk "The Story of Love", P. J. Harvey's "Glorious" – she also duets with Harvey on the track – and Van Morrison's "The Way Young Lovers Do" off Astral Weeks.
