With her latest album 'Designer', Aldous Harding creates a strange, but inviting world where she operates according to her own baffling internal logic. On the album, she renders instrumentation and voice into the most vivid and impressionistic of scenes.

Now, Harding shares a new hypnogogic video for new single 'Zoo Eyes' from the album. The video was captured in her native New Zealand by director Martin Sagadin. As she takes on multiple identities, Harding simultaneously compels and bewilders in ‘Zoo Eyes’. Watch below. It’s the greatest show on earth you shall receive.

"Aldous Harding uses oddness as both lure and armor. You can see it in her performances, which suggest a neurodiverse lexicon of emotions in her facial tics and physicality. And you can hear it in the language of Designer, her quizzically beautiful third LP, where she pivots artfully from folk eccentric to pop eccentric." - Rolling Stone

Aldous Harding performs at Le Guess Who? 2019 on Saturday, 9 November. Also performing at the festival are a.o. Deerhunter, Cate Le Bon, Ustad Saami, Jenny Hval, Gruff Rhys, Efterklang, William Tyler & Mary Lattimore, Not Waving & Dark Mark (Mark Lanegan), and many more.
