Aldous Harding

Hannah Harding ( AWL-dəs, born 1990 as Hannah Sian Topp), known professionally as Aldous Harding, is an indie folk singer-songwriter from Lyttelton, New Zealand. Harding captivates listeners with her "elastic and shape-shifting voice", her enigmatic lyrics and eccentric performances and video clips. After her "breathtaking self-titled debut" inspired by English folk music that got her recognized, she got a label contract with 4AD, and teamed up with producer John Parish in Wales. With the 2017 release of her "world-storming album" Party, The Guardian called her "one of the most original songwriters around." The "shimmering psychedelic pop" of the following album Designer in 2019 was described as "warm and full of humor", and "simply extraordinary". Two month after the release Metacritic listed Designer as the world's seventh most critically acclaimed album of 2019, by the end of the year on #15, and #8 Most Shared Album of 2019. The single "The Barrel" won her the APRA Silver Scroll Award. In 2022 Warm Chris consolidated the acclaim.
