Harding is an artist who’s impossible to pinpoint. Switching between folk minimalism, art-pop abstraction, and music that’s more elusive and theatrical, she’s a completely distinctive artist. Harding’s latest album was co-produced with longtime collaborator John Parish, who’s known for working with fellow singular artists, PJ Harvey and Dry Cleaning.

Recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales—where she created her previous albums, 2017’s Party, 2019’s Designer, and 2022’s Warm Chris—Harding is accompanied by musicians including Joe Harvey-Whyte (pedal steel), Mali Llywelyn (harp), Thomas Poli (synth), Sebastian Rochford (drums), and Huw Evans (bass, vocals, guitar and organ) across Train On The Island.

You can pre-order/pre-save the album here.
