Aldous Harding's third album Designer is finally released as a fully formed body of work. The songs in this collection were all written on the road by Harding last year during a 200-date tour.

Accompanying the album are delicate contributions from Huw Evans (H. Hawkline), Stephen Black (Sweet Baboo), drummer Gwion Llewelyn and violinist Clare Mactaggar, their instrumentation amplifies Hardings voice even further with moving melodic harmonies. Designer brings the ear and the eye to new spaces of experience. Indulge yourself in the intricacies of the bold and the beautiful, the fixed and fragile design of Designer

"Cryptic and deeply idiosyncratic songs, a record you don't want to turn your back on in any way." - MOJO
"A warm, textured collection of songs that breathe life at every corner." - DIY
