Aldous Harding is again. The New Zealand singer-songwriter has introduced her fifth studio album, Practice on the Island, which is slated for launch on Could 8. The follow-up to 2022’s Heat Chris is led by the mesmerizing, raggedly groovy new music ‘One Cease’, which arrives alongside a Michelle Henning-directed video. Test it out and discover the album cowl and tracklist under.
Spanning 10 tracks, Practice on the Island was co-produced by longtime collaborator John Parishat Rockfield Studios in Monmouth, Wales, the place the pair recorded Heat Chris in addition to 2017’s Celebration and 2019’s Designer. They had been joined by pedal metal participant Joe Harvey-Whyte, harpist Mali Llywelyn, synth artist Thomas Poli, drummer Sebastian Rochford (Polar Bear), and Huw Evans (H. Hawkline) on bass, vocals, guitar, and organ.
Final yr, Harding appeared on Fragrance Genius’ ‘No Entrance Tooth’, probably the greatest songs of 2025.
