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.

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.
