New Zealand songwriter Aldous Harding releases her new album, Party, today.  Featuring the singles ‘Horizon’ and ‘Imagining My Man’, her second long-player has been universally applauded.  She will make her debut TV appearance next week, performing ‘Horizon’ on the BBC’s Later…with Jools Holland.

Party was produced with the award-winning John Parish (PJ Harvey, Sparklehorse) in his hometown of Bristol, taking Harding away from her New Zealand base for an intensive two-week immersion in the studio.  As well as a raft of musical contributions from Parish, Perfume Genius’ Mike Hadreas lends vocals to recent single ‘Imagining My Man’ and Party closer ‘Swell Does The Skull’.

Party by Aldous Harding is out now on 4AD.
You can buy from the 4AD Store here on LP/CD.  Limited LP purchases come with a bonus 7" featuring new track 'Elation'.
You can buy and stream on all digital platforms here.

Currently at the Great Escape festival, Aldous Harding begins her headline UK tour on Monday, kicking off proceedings with a sold-out show at Omeara, London.  Her 23rd May Bristol date has been postponed and will now take place on 24th November.  Tickets for the original May show are valid for this rescheduled one.  Aldous Harding recently announced a further London gig at Islington Assembly Hall on 20th November.  Tickets are now on sale, and will be appearing at numerous summer festivals including Latitude, Green Man and End Of The Road.
