Apr 11, 2019 By Christopher Roberts Aldous Harding

New Zealand singer/songwriter Aldous Harding is releasing a new album, Designer, on April 26 via 4AD. Previously she shared a strange video for its first single, “Barrel” (which was one of our Songs of the Week). Now she has shared another song from the album, opening track “Fixture Picture,” also via a video for the song. Harding co-directed the striking video with Jack Whiteley, which was filmed on the Cliffs of Dover in England and features Harding dressed in bright red, while her all-male backing band are all clad in black, sometimes with their faces covered. Watch it below, followed by her upcoming tour dates.

Designer is the follow-up to 2017’s Party. As with that album, John Parish produces again. The album also features Huw Evans (H. Hawkline), Stephen Black (Sweet Baboo), drummer Gwion Llewelyn, and violinist Clare Mactaggart.
