Kiwi singer/songwriter Hannah Harding, better known by her nom de plume, Aldous Harding, first drew praise for the gothic indie folk and stark emotionality of her 2015 debut that brought about comparisons to both Kate Bush and Scott Walker. Later outings like Party (2017) and Designer (2019) adopted a more off-kilter indie pop approach that evoked names like Cate Le Bon and Nico.
