Aldous Harding is back. The New Zealand singer-songwriter has announced her fifth studio album, Train on the Island, which is slated for release on May 8. The follow-up to 2022’s Warm Chris is led by the mesmerizing, raggedly groovy new song ‘One Stop’, which arrives alongside a Michelle Henning-directed video. Check it out and find the album cover and tracklist below.
Spanning 10 tracks, Train on the Island was co-produced by longtime collaborator John Parishat Rockfield Studios in Monmouth, Wales, where the pair recorded Warm Chris as well as 2017’s Party and 2019’s Designer. They were joined by pedal steel player Joe Harvey-Whyte, harpist Mali Llywelyn, synth artist Thomas Poli, drummer Sebastian Rochford (Polar Bear), and Huw Evans (H. Hawkline) on bass, vocals, guitar, and organ.
Last year, Harding appeared on Perfume Genius’ ‘No Front Teeth’, one of the best songs of 2025.
