Aldous Harding: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

Музыка

Bob Boilen | July 28, 2017 -- Intensity in songs often expresses itself as volume - a loud guitar, a scream, a piercing synth line. But in the case of Aldous Harding it's in the spaces, the pauses, and her unique delivery. Watch her Tiny Desk Concert and you can see this in her facial expressions and body posture.
The first song she performs,"Imagining My Man," is about what she calls the "tender and frightening thoughts that come with being in love," and what you witness while watching her are often painful, pensive expressions that are as important to the song as the notes being played.
Aldous Harding is a singer from New Zealand who's inspired by British folk singer Vashti Bunyan, but making something truly unique and her own. Party, her second album, is full of deeply personal songs with memorable melodies and spare instrumentation that linger in my head long after the headphone batteries have drained. It'll certainly be a favorite on my year-end list.
Aldous Harding's musical partner for the Tiny Desk is Jared Samuel, a keyboardist who was so impressive at SXSW this year in the band, Invisible Familiars. It's his deft accompaniment on these songs that shapes the texture and pulse of them, adding tension to already taut tunes. Aldous Harding's music isn't universal, but if you lean toward loving the poetic, the melodic and the mysterious, you'll likely love it.
Party is available now.

    She has such a baroque intensity on her face that you can't help but be mesmerized. She fully understands the theatricality of a performance. She doesn't just sing her song but she lives it. She also seems to understand music cinematically as if each song is to play a character in an imaginary movie only she can portray. She's always in character and she wants you to know it. Major talent.

    Her and Joanna Newsom. . . I love them. I’ve only ever really wanted to see Joanna Newsom perform live and luckily I was blessed to see and meet her in Chicago a few years ago. I’m going to see Aldous Harding in New Orleans in October at Gasa Gasa. She’s the only other one I’ve felt the urge to see.

    Aldous Harding, you’re perfect. I’ve seen you live and it was just an immersing experience so intense, so great, I was stunned. To everyone that jokes about your facial expressions, it’s part of the experience, part of your art! I’m deeply sorry some people cannot understand simple things like that.
