Aldous Harding - Aldous Harding (Vinyl)
FN566 Aldous Harding - Aldous Harding (2016) released on Flying Nun Records.
Aldous Harding these days is an international, award winning artist. With this album, her self titled debut, you get a taste of her brilliance, as an emerging artist and why, from the outset, she caught the eye of locally and internationally renowned record labels.
She started in Lyttelton, a port town on the outskirts of Christchurch, New Zealand. There she kept sailors in check with cheek and a strong-songed tongue. She caught the ear of locals Ben Edwards and Delaney Davidson playing under her own name, Hanna Harding, alongside band The Eastern.
Aldous Harding's lead single, Hunter, has been characterised by Harding as a gothic fairytale. This is folk music, simple and bleak with Hardings fragile coo reminiscent of retiring, 60s-era folk singers Vashti Bunyan and Linda Perhacs. Hunter seems to occupy a place outside of time, opening with the refrain, He's a hunter, he's a good man/Be brave when he brings you nothing home and closing with a vision of blood streaming down a river.
- Stop Your Tears
- Hunter
- Two Bitten Hearts
- Titus Groan
- Beast

- Merriweather
- Small Bones of Courage
- Titus Alone

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
