Watch: Aldous Harding – New Video – Imagining My Man

We here at The 13th Floor are happy to bring you this latest music video and news about the new Aldous Harding album...

On 19th May 2017, Aldous Harding releases her second album, Party. Following the recent single Horizon – a lover’s call to arms which also features on her Flying Nun/4AD debut – a new track and video goes online today. Check out Imagining My Man.

Party was produced with the award-winning John Parish (PJ Harvey, Sparklehorse) in Bristol, a world away from Harding’s New Zealand home. As well as contributions from Parish, Perfume Genius’s Mike Hadreas lends vocals to the aforementioned Imagining My Man and Party closer Swell Does The Skull.

Igniting interest with her eponymous debut album released just two years ago, Aldous Harding quickly became a name murmured on many lips. She’s known for her sinister torch songs, gentle laments and eerie odes delivered with a charismatic combination of hubris, shrewd wit and quiet horror. Party introduces a new talent to the stark and unpopulated dramatic realm where Kate Bush and Scott Walker reside.

Imagining My Man is an intensely intimate listen as Aldous explores the curiosity of a lover’s idiosyncrasies. The video was created by Horizon director Charlotte Evans and once again draws focus on Harding, tracking her movements throughout the city of Auckland.

“It has a fluidity that works nicely. I couldn’t think of anything that would work better. I want people to feel calm, I was just trying to look friendly. It was also lovely being driven around Auckland City, I hadn’t done that in a while.” says Harding.
