More Info:
Aldous Harding is a Christchurch local, whose records are released in New Zealand by Littleton records (home of the mighty Marlon Williams and Delaney Davidson). Lyttelton is a gorgeous port town to the north of Christchurch. A home for Maori for about 700 years, Lyttelton Harbour was discovered by European voyagers passing by on February 16, 1770 during the Endeavour's first voyage to New Zealand. Today it is one of New Zealand's busiest ports. In popular culture it is best known as the location for most of the exterior scenes in Peter Jackson's 1996 horror movie The Frighteners. It is also a town surrounded by many historic buildings, many of which have been turned into bars. Aldous Harding's music has been the best thing that has ever happened to these bars, where wayfaring loners shuffle in at the wrong times of day. She has been the savior of those falling in homecooked opium furrows. She has kept sailors in check with cheek and a strong-songed tongue. And now she will be all yours for an album-length period of time, and you may have your picnic and feast upon the music. So lucky one, close your eyes. Turn your nose towards river water. Twitch your ears as rabbits do. Settle in. Listen to this one closely.
