As an artist, Aldous Harding could be described as a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. Her third record, although often cryptic lyrically, could be anything but. Designer is a stunningly beautiful, delicate work of pop music. Brimming with about as much light and positivity than ever heard from New Zealand’s APRA Silver Scroll recipient; a stark contrast from previous work. TRACKS PLAYED: ‘Fixture Picture’ ‘Designer’ ‘Zoo Eyes’ ‘Treasure’ ‘The Barrel’ ‘Damn’ ‘Imagining My Man’ ‘Weight Of The Planets’ ‘Heaven Is Empty’ ‘Pilot’.

Like a book club for music nerds, Dan Gordon and Maia Bilyk take a deep dive through a different album each week. Between the nostalgic and brand new, broken down by the artist themselves.

Recorded and broadcasted on the stolen land of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging and acknowledge their ongoing struggle. Sovereignty was never ceded.
