Party

Auckland's **Aldous Harding** has become known for her sinister torch songs, gentle laments and eerie odes delivered with a charismatic combination of hubris, shrewd wit and quiet horror. Produced by **John Parish** *(PJ Harvey, Sparklehorse)* in Bristol, a world away from her New Zealand home, *'Party'* introduces a new talent to the stark, dramatic realm where *Kate Bush* and *Scott Walker* reside. As well as contributions from **Parish, Perfume Genius's Mike Hadreas** also lends vocals to the aforementioned *'Imagining My Man'* and album closer *'Swell Does The Skull'.*
