Produced by John Parish and recorded in the celebrated PJ Harvey collaborator’s home city of Bristol, Party is the second album by New Zealand’s Aldous Harding. Blend is an understated acoustic opener before the majestic Imagining My Man gives a first glimpse into the kaleidoscopic brilliance at play, sorrowful vocals and sparing piano chords juxtaposed with the joyful ‘heys’ of children and some tasteful guitar work.
