Singer/songwriter Aldous Harding, born Hannah Harding in Lyttelton near Christchurch, New Zealand, first gained recognition for her gothic folk sound and raw emotional depth. Drawing comparisons to iconic artists like Kate Bush and Scott Walker, Harding's musical journey began at a young age when she made her recording debut on her mother Lorina Harding's award-winning folk album Clean Break. Despite initially dismissing a career in music, she eventually embraced her passion for singing and songwriting while collaborating with fellow musician Nadia Reid. With the release of her self-titled debut album produced by Marlon Williams and Ben Edwards in 2012, Harding quickly established herself as a critically acclaimed artist.

Signing with British independent label 4AD for her sophomore record Party in 2017, Harding worked alongside co-producer John Parish (known for his work with Sparklehorse and PJ Harvey). The album featured standout tracks like "Horizon" and "Imagining My Man," further solidifying Harding's reputation as an exceptional talent. Throughout her career, she has embarked on extensive tours to support her albums and captivate audiences worldwide.

Back In Stock

New album from the great Aldous Harding, available here on Limited Gold Vinyl, Black Vinyl and CD.

Aldous Harding release her third album, Designer, on 4AD. Designer finds the New Zealander hitting her creative stride. After the sleeper success of the internationally lauded Party, Harding came off a 100-date tour last summer and went straight into the studio with a collection of songs written on the road. Reuniting with John Parish, producer of Party, Harding spent 15 days recording and 10 days mixing at Rockfield Studios, Monmouth and Bristol’s J&amp;J Studio and Playpen. From the bold strokes of opening track Fixture Picture, there is an overriding sense of an artist confident in their work, with contributions from Huw Evans (H. Hawkline), Stephen Black (Sweet Baboo), drummer Gwion Llewelyn and violinist Clare Mactaggart broadening and complimenting Harding’s rich and timeless songwriting.
