Four (Acts of Love) is the sixth studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Mick Harvey, released on 11 June 2013 through Mute Records. The album is Harvey's second following his departure from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. The tracks make up a song cycle exploring the process of falling in love, bookended by "Praise the Earth (Wheels of Amber and Gold)" and "Praise the Earth (An Ephemeral Play)". The album includes several covers, including The Saints' punk "The Story of Love", P. J. Harvey's "Glorious" – who also duets with Harvey on the track – and Van Morrison's "The Way Young Lovers Do" off Astral Weeks.
