Experience Aldous Harding

Aldous Harding (born Hannah Harding, 1986) is a New Zealand singer-songwriter and performer known for her uniquely captivating and often unsettling art-pop. Initially gaining attention as a backing vocalist for folk artist Anika Moa, Harding launched her solo career with self-released EPs before debuting with *Freebies* (2014). Her sound evolved rapidly, moving from sparse folk to a more orchestrated, theatrical style incorporating elements of jazz, baroque pop, and experimental music.

Critically acclaimed albums *Horizon* (2016), *Designer* (2018 – nominated for the Taite Music Prize), and *Warm Chris* (2022) demonstrate increasing sonic ambition and lyrical depth. Harding’s performances are renowned for their striking visual presentation – often involving elaborate costuming and carefully choreographed movement – adding another layer to her enigmatic persona.

She’s toured extensively internationally, supporting artists like Father John Misty and consistently receives praise for her intensely personal songwriting which explores themes of identity, isolation, and the female experience.
