ALDOUS HARDING – PARTY

Description:

4AD welcomes Aldous Harding, a remarkable talent from New Zealand. Aldous Hardings music is not for the faint of heart. Disarming in its desolate imagery and stark instrumentation, her songs draw from the core facets of life: death, birth, grief and love. There are few happy endings, but the power is in how Harding enters into battle; with a dancers grace and a boxers stance. Harding initially ignited interest with her eponymous debut album released just two years ago. With echoes of folk luminary Linda Perhacs, Hardings work is one step removed from the modern world, lying in the more savage and dramatic terrain where Kate Bush and Scott Walker reside, wrought with a wry wit and tenacious gall. For her 4AD debut, Aldous real name Hannah Harding has been working with award-winning producer John Parish (PJ Harvey, Sparklehorse).
