    after listening to Aldous for the past 4 weeks to my surprise i dont need psychedelics anymore, i just put on a good set of headphones turn up the volume and '' die of astonishment'' everytime! i havent bought music in 40+ yrs but with my savings i feel obliged to buy all her albums and i would encourage everyone else to the same, this young lady deserves and needs our support. thx. Aldous💖

    Kexp somehow manages to pull the most distilled version of these artists and performances. Not sure what the recipe is for this but almost always, the kexp version is the best one filmed and often audiologically produced as well. The muse must smile upon and dwell somewhere within that operation.

      I was the Carlos Castinada of my high school back in the 70s. I told others where to find and how to use Datura. Carlos' account of the herb was so accurate. If it like spirit liked you, you saw red. It liked me a lot! If the spirit didn't like you you saw black. That is: some people who take Jimson weed went temporarily blind. I do not recommend it - as you say: madness.

      Dangerous hippy bollocks. Datura is an incredibly powerful hallucinogen, if you take too much it will make you perform a very realistic impression of having a psychotic episode. I know, myself and friends took it.

    A lot of commenters are confused about the facial expressions. Listen to anyone describe Jay-Z in the studio. Making faces is common for vocalists who are aiming for a precise sound. Most tone it down for live performances. Also, most vocalists don't duplicate their studio sound when playing live. They do a casual interpretation. Note that she doesn't.
    I'm not saying all vocalists do this. But if you pay attention, many do, especially when they are being very serious about making a specific sound. Which she is.

      I have also seen that and I'm pretty sure she goes farther, into the playing something like different characters when she's performing. Sometimes she keeps the expression on while not singing and between songs. In the "Designer" performance for KEXP she's basically in character the whole time.

    I've never heard anyone with this number of different voices they draw on. Every phoneme seems hand-sculpted - how much breath, how much resonance, where's the attack, the sustain... but across 20? different "characters"? I always thought you had to pick one when you started out but here's someone moving between them and it's truly beyond words.

    @1Ma9iN8tive 4 года назад +17

    When I was young I had the suns share of talent - sport, art, music, poetry. I can say without false ego that I walked the earth a god with a small case “g”. Long before Aldous walked i thundered in the neighbourhoods of her home town ... a hoary beast devouring wishes like cocoons consume caterpillar dreams of flight.
    I squandered it all on empty thrills and cheap moments filled with stolen Kama sutra chapters whose burnt edges stained the beds of ten thousand wet dreams...
    I am old now ... and bereft of all but the final gift ... to recognise great music and to enjoy its sweet nectar on the bough.
    Listening to this music transports me to the very horizons of hope once more ... every note she sings is a story I fly on like a hidden seed trapped in the wings of the bar tailed godwit beating west for her home in the land of the long white clouds.
    There is light in this gift. It is fire. I am it’s fuel and a fool ...
    There is no escaping my impotent love for this talent ... the lust is viciously rhetorical ... but it’s kiss is soulgasmic
    Aldous Harding ... thank all that is wholly for your courageous floetry.

      That album is so fucking heavy... when I first got into Aldous Harding it kept coming up in my mind as a sort of a reference too.

    This women is incredible. I'm not being sexist but I don't actually listen to female artists. I love Kate bush and bjork. But it's been along time since I've loved a female artist like this. Beautiful.

    2:17 that chord on the keys is so good. it's like the song in a nutshell with that beautiful open dissonant sound
