Harding’s Melbourne performance is presented in partnership with ALWAYS LIVE, a state-wide celebration of contemporary live music supported by the Victorian Government through Visit Victoria. Aldous will be joined at all shows by Cardiff multi-instrumentalist and critically acclaimed solo artist H. Hawkline.
The first taste of Warm Chris came in the form of the singles ‘Lawn’ and ‘Fever’, with latest single ‘Tick Tock’. Recorded in Monmouth, Wales, it marks her third collaboration with producer John Parish, the 10-track disc also including contributions from H. Hawkline, Seb Rochford, Gavin Fitzjohn, John and Hopey Parish and Jason Williamson (Sleaford Mods). Harding’s partnership with Parish first began five years ago, starting with 2017’s Unforgettable Party, and 2019’s Designer.
With glowing reviews from media such as NPR, Double J, The New Yorker and Pitchfork (who gave it 8.2/10 in the Best New Music review), Harding’s latest album sees the skilful, acrobatic singer proudly moving into sunnier territory, delivering one of her finest works to date.
Aldous Harding’s truly remarkable stage presence and singular songs have captivated audiences across the globe. Don’t miss her when she performs live on stage in Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney this October!
