In 2019, New Zealand’s Aldous Harding released a brilliant album of nuanced folk music in Designer. The corresponding tour was one for the ages, as Harding remains one of the few artists in our attention deficit world who can render an entire concert crowd silent in awe of her impeccable performances. Today, Harding released new music, announced the new album Warm Chris, and a robust tour schedule.
The new album will be out on March 25th and the new single “Lawn,” is a shimmering reflection of Harding’s unique spirit as a musician. The track rolls along with the same grassy, groovy feeling that makes her such a mesmerizing artist. The song and album are both produced by John Parish, who along with Harding’s previous two albums, produced Dry Cleaning’s standout New Long Leg, and has worked extensively with PJ Harvey.
