Interview: Aldous Harding

Folk musician Aldous Harding has just completed an extensive tour of the country following the release of her breathtaking self-titled debut album. Seeming to come out of almost nowhere to impress audiences coast-to-coast, a story arose that the young singer-songwriter was discovered by Anika Moa while she was busking on the street. But before all that, she had been hanging around the port town of Lyttelton and playing with The Eastern under her birthname Hannah Harding, where she was quickly singled out for her stunning voice by country music linchpins Ben Edwards and Delaney Davidson, who helped the 23-year-old usher her fantastic "gothic fairytales" to tape.

We managed steal a few minutes with Harding while she was on the road wrapping up the last of leg of her tour, where she spoke about her friendship with Moa and about the beautifully haunting video for ‘Hunter’ that stars her ex-boyfriend, who also plays a part in a new video the singer-songwriter is poised to release.
