The Garden, a PJ Harvey Discussion Site

On 19th May 2017, Aldous Harding releases her second album, Party.



Party was produced with the award-winning John Parish (PJ Harvey, Sparklehorse) in Bristol, a world away from Harding’s New Zealand home. As well as contributions from Parish, Perfume Genius’s Mike Hadreas lends vocals to ‘Imagining My Man’ and Party closer ‘Swell Does The Skull’.

Igniting interest with her eponymous debut album released just two years ago, Aldous Harding quickly became a name murmured on many lips. She’s known for her sinister torch songs, gentle laments and eerie odes delivered with a charismatic combination of hubris, shrewd wit and quiet horror. Party introduces a new talent to the stark and unpopulated dramatic realm where Kate Bush and Scott Walker reside.

You can find all details on the album, along with new single 'Imagining My Man' and international tour dates, here.

Sounds intriguing, looking forward to the full album.

New video for Blend.

Here she is performing Horizon on Later, feat. John Parish on piano.

New album Warm Chris out today (produced and recorded with John Parish, just like Party and Designer). All three are IMHO very good but this might be her best yet.

Just came across this from 2023. "Three Hours". Absolutely love it. Sounds like John has been listening to Neu!

The new album Train on the Island is out today, produced by John Parish like the three previous ones. Absolutely love it, perhaps her best yet? She keeps getting better from record to record in my opinion.
