Designer by Aldous Harding
Designer is an album by Aldous Harding, released in 2019. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 6 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “The Barrel”, on 6 lists with a best position of #47.
Designer, the third album from Lyttelton, New Zealand's Aldous Harding, came out on 4AD on 26 April 2019, with Flying Nun also on the label credits. She made it with producer John Parish, her collaborator since she signed to 4AD, and it was cut at Rockfield Studios. The songs are spare and oddly playful, strung together by that voice of hers, which bends and changes shape from line to line, and by lyrics that never quite give up their secrets.
"The Barrel", with its sly, bouncing groove, won the 2019 APRA Silver Scroll, and within a couple of months Metacritic had the album among the most acclaimed records of the year. It was also a finalist for the 2020 Taite Music Prize.
