Let's be clear, the success of someone like Aldous Harding makes us hope for better days for many of the musicians we defend here and that makes us feel good...
So, 4th album of this New Zealand singer, "Warm Chris" ( @4ad , Beggars France) and always the same air of freedom that invades us when listening to it ... Always the same preference for accuracy over showmanship, always the same belief in the deployment of the note beyond its resonance, always this voice which has no other limits than a creative necessity as generous as it is ruthless... Where so many others have lost their way, Aldous Harding clings to his thread of life with no apparent effort, and gives us the gift of the splendours encountered along the way... A folk-world of sorts ...
Could have we hoped for anything better to help us reconnect, if need be, with our little inner voice? Enjoy !
