Aldous Harding
Intense, dramatic folky music from New Zealand's Next Big Thing.
Overview
Aldous Harding is a name you're going to be hearing a lot about very soon. Her second album, Party – released earlier in May 2017 by legendary indie label 4AD – is full of darkly lyrical, dramatic songs, sung in Harding's extraordinarily versatile voice that can go from husky and dramatic to girlish and hopeful at the flick of a switch.
Harding's sound is a is a mesmerising, intoxicating mix of Leonard Cohen, Elliott Smith, even an occasional flicker of Joanna Newsom. And given the album was recorded with PJ Harvey's longtime collaborator John Parrish, it's hard not to hear a touch of Polly Jean in there too.
