Aldous Harding Train on The Island it seems is the record which will carry me through May. It's almost an act of hypnosis I'm finding. I'm listening to it now and it feels like a wave which is bearing me up.. It's immediately clear that its a special album and will make her further friends. She stands out I'd say.
Harding's an artist who sets her own rules.. The review of the record in Mojo where it's Record of the Month says its riddled with clues like the streets on a street quest puzzle playground.Train on The Island clearly has longevity high on its running order.
Akdous seems an artist intent on setting her own agenda. determined to follow her own path. To speak her own language and travel at her iwn pace. Train on The Island feels much like being on a train ir at the window on a ferry. Warching the fields pass or the waves rise and ebb. It's giddy with peace and opportunity. It feels like a record you want to lift and drag back to the beginning so you can further your understanding of why you love it,.
It's a record that leaves a lot of questions answered. It's open ended. A bpt like erm..... life. Forty minutes of pure enchantment. It sets the bar high. The show goes on........
