Aldous Harding is about to head to England to record her second album, so we might not see her for a while. But before that she did a short NZ tour, finishing with a headline set, followed by an opening slot for US Girls.
The first night was recorded by Radio NZ. I wasn't there but there was a power cut through the CBD that ended the show early. Strangely, there's no sign of that in the recording, which makes me think the recording might be a mix of dates.
I recorded the second night, which ended up being longer than the first given the lack of an interruption. Both nights had pretty similar sets, with a few songs from her first album and a handful of songs that'll feature on her upcoming record. The absolute highlight is Horizon, which she closed with both nights. There's also an amateur, but extremely good video that's been coupled with RNZ's audio. Check it out:
