Since 2022’s Warm Chris, Aldous Harding has stayed busy by collaborating with Perfume Genius, John Parish, and Sleaford Mods. Now the New Zealand-born, Wales-based singer-songwriter is announcing her fifth studio album, Train On The Island.

It features pedal steel player Joe Harvey-Whyte, harpist Mali Llewelyn, synth artist Thomas Poli, drummer Sebastian Rochford (Polar Bear), and Huw Evans (H.
