Aldous Harding introduces new album 'Train On The Island' with lead single 'One Stop' • News • DIY Magazine

New Zealand luminary Aldous Harding has announced that her next studio album, ‘Train On The Island’, will be released on 8th May via 4AD - and, to mark the occasion, she’s dropped its lead single ‘One Stop’ to boot.

The awaited successor to her 2022 LP ‘Warm Chris’, this new record - her fifth - was co-produced by Aldous and her longtime collaborator John Parish (PJ Harvey, Dry Cleaning) at Rockfield Studios in Monmouth, Wales (where she also tracked her three most recent albums).

Our first taste of what to expect from the 10-track project, ‘One Stop’, is an expectedly spellbinding cut which meanders through subtle piano work, spotlighting her evocative vocals, before metamorphosing into a folky, guitar-flecked outro. Watch its Michelle Henning-directed video here:

‘Train On The Island’ tracklist:
1. I Ate The Most
2. One Stop
3. Train On The Island
4. Worms
5. Venus In The Zinnia
6. If Lady Does It
7. San Francisco
8. What Am I Gonna Do?
9. Riding That Symbol
10. Coats

What’s more, Aldous will also be celebrating the release of ‘Train On The Island’ with an extensive run of tour dates around the UK, Europe, and North America - her first headline shows since 2023, no less. Catch her live at one of the following venues:
