With her fourth album Warm Chris, New Zealand singer-songwriter Aldous Harding once again immerses her listeners in exceptionally beautifully arranged songs that you just can't quite put your finger on. Although her music is engaging, her songs take certain twists and turns that make it always a surprise what you get to hear. She collaborated for the third time with the
PJ Harvey known producer
John… Parish, making Warm Chris sound like an extension of predecessor Designer (2019). The emphasis is once again on her gentle piano playing and strumming guitar, with which she takes you in. Her voice also takes on different forms, and so Harding meanders through her songs in her own unique way. Warm Chris is both enchanting and quirky. Exactly as you would expect from Aldous Harding.
