Aldous Harding

New Zealand folk-modernist haunts, startles and demands to be heard.

Charlotte Church has praised Aldous Harding’s “heartbreaking” voice. Harding’s fellow New Zealander Lorde said of the track Imagining My Man: “This song blows my head off.” It fits that such self-possessed and talented artists are taking to Harding. She’s one of the most remarkable performers in years, her vocal poise mixed with charisma and wit.
