95bFM Breakfast Album of the Week: Aldous Harding - 'Train on the Island'
Aldous Harding has gifted New Zealand Music Month with the release of her dazzling new record Train on the Island. A release that proves, once again, that she is a luminary figure in Aotearoa’s music scene.
The 10-track Train on the Island was co-produced by long-time collaborator John Parish (PJ Harvey, Dry Cleaning) at Rockfield Studios in Monmouth, Wales, where the pair recorded the New Zealander’s previous bodies of work, Party (2017), Designer (2019) and Warm Chris (2022). Joining Harding and Parish on Train On The Island were pedal steel player Joe Harvey-Whyte, harpist Mali Llywelyn, synth artist Thomas Poli, drummer Sebastian Rochford (Polar Bear) and Huw Evans (H. Hawkline) on bass, vocals, acoustic/electric guitar and organ.
Train on the Island is out this Friday and available where all good music is found.
