New Zealand's Aldous Harding returns with news of her third album Designer, announced with the mellow lead single "The Barrel".

"The Barrel" is the first single from Harding since 2017's "Elation" single, which landed after her second record Party.

Harding's new single arrives with visuals co-directed by herself and Martin Sagadin.

Designer, Harding's third full-length, was recorded between Monmouth's Rockfield Studios, Bristol's J&J Studio and Playpen with Party producer John Parish. The recording took 15 days, while the mixing took a further 10.

The record sees contributions from Huw Evans (H. Hawkline), Stephen Black (Sweet Baboo), drummer Gwion Llewelyn and violinist Claire MacTaggart.
