New Album Warm Chris
Out Now
Today, Aldous Harding shares the official video for her song ‘Tick Tock’. The surreal animated short was directed by Harding and Chris McD, with the latter responsible for animation and design.
‘Tick Tock’ is taken from Warm Chris, the latest album from Aldous Harding which also features the singles ‘Fever’ and ‘Lawn’. The New Zealander’s fourth studio album reunited her with producer John Parish, continuing a professional partnership that began in 2017 and has forged pivotal bodies of work (2017’s Party and 2019’s Designer). All ten tracks were recorded at Rockfield Studios and includes contributions from H. Hawkline, Seb Rochford, Gavin Fitzjohn, John and Hopey Parish and Jason Williamson (Sleaford Mods).

Warm Chris is available digitally and on CD and black vinyl formats only. further information head to aldousharding.ffm.to/warmchris
Aldous Harding’s month-long US tour begins in June with support from H. Hawkline. Later this summer she will perform at a handful of European festivals (Øya, Way Out West, All Points East, End of the Road and more) as well as a one-off headline show at Glasgow’s City Halls. Harding’s UK and European tour takes place in the Spring of 2023. A full list of tour dates can be found below, for further information head to aldousharding.com/live
“
“A sparse and oblique album whose gentle psychedelic folk and beguiling free association proudly resist interpretation.”
Pitchfork, Best New Music
“As with all things Aldous Harding, it’s a dazzling performance. Expect the ovations for her to echo down the years.”
MOJO’s Album of the Month ****
“Riveting…Harding’s songs can feel like impressions, with singing that extends from a wraithlike whisper to a low-toned croon.”
New Yorker
“Defiantly peculiar, venture into her total immersion world and one must accept that there is no map.”
Uncut’s Album of the Month
“A supremely singular talent.”
Clash 9/10
“Strange, sublime and completely unique, Aldous Harding is truly one of a kind.”
NME ****
“Defies easy categorisation and is all the better for it.”
The Sunday Times ****
“At its core, like David Byrne in his big suit or David Bowie playing harlequin, Harding’s is a grounded eccentricity, rooted in the traditions of avant-garde theater and folk music while still retaining a welcoming sense of play…An offbeat, infectious and ultimately liberating invitation to stop making sense.”
New York Times
“To follow Harding into this uncanny world is to feel both held and adrift: safe in the company of a skilled navigator who won’t tell you where we’re going, or how she aims to take us there, or how close to the waterfall she plans on steering the boat.”
