"Designer" hit me like a freight train of feels, y'all. Aldous Harding's third album is a wild ride through love's ups and downs, growing up, and finding your strength. It's got this crazy mix of folk, rock, and pop that'll have your head spinning - in the best way possible.
John Parish produced this bad boy, and let me tell you, it's a trip. Nine tracks that'll make you laugh, cry, and maybe even dance a little. Harding's voice? Girl can sing her heart out, switching from soft whispers to powerful belts like it's nothing. And the instruments? We're talking saxophones, xylophones, synths - all layered over some sweet acoustic guitar. It's like a musical buffet, and I'm here for it.
Critics are eating this shit up, too. Metacritic's got it at 88/100, and big names like Pitchfork and The Guardian are singing its praises. "The Barrel" even snagged the 2019 APRA Silver Scroll award. But forget the fancy accolades - this album speaks for itself. It's raw, it's real, and it's gonna stick with you long after the music stops. Harding's not just another face in the indie folk crowd - she's carving out her own weird, wonderful niche, and I'm loving every second of it. -
