Train On The Island (CD)

This'll make your day. Train On The Island marks Aldous Harding’s fifth studio album, made once again with long‑time collaborator John Parish at the legendary Rockfield Studios in Wales. The pair slip easily back into gear, shaping ten new songs that, as always, don't disappoint. Since Warm Chris in 2022, Harding has kept busy offering their voice to Perfume Genius and Sleaford Mods but Train On The Island marks her full return at last. All aboard. - Flying Out

The 10-track Train On The Island was co-produced by long-time collaborator John Parish (PJ Harvey, Dry Cleaning) at Rockfield Studios in Monmouth, Wales, where the pair recorded the New Zealander’s previous bodies of work, Party (2017), Designer (2019) and Warm Chris (2022). Joining Harding and Parish on Train On The Island were pedal steel player Joe Harvey-Whyte, harpist Mali Llywelyn, synth artist Thomas Poli, drummer Sebastian Rochford (Polar Bear) and Huw Evans (H. Hawkline) on bass, vocals, acoustic/electric guitar and organ.
