Song of the Day # 366 Aldous Harding

 
An interesting one this. A singer-songwriter from New Zealand. Here's how her record company Lyttleton Records describes her. Rather over the top but a good read anyway.
 
 'Aldous Harding has been wowing and amazing audiences around New Zealand for the last 3-5 years. This self titled album is her debut album release and Lyttelton Records is very proud to be able to offer you something very special that will no doubt become a true classic.
 
Aldous has never written a song called ’1984′. She has, however, written many songs of quiet strength that have been ringing through the hills of an astounded Lyttelton for the past few years.
Her music has been the best thing that has ever happened to wayfaring loners that shuffle into bars at the wrong times of day.

 She has been the saviour of those falling in home-cooked 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 water. Settle in. Listen to this one closely.'
