That's a great idea! I would love to do that with my kids, but they're a bit too old & "cool" now to think that would be fun... Miss that type of goofy fun!
SampleText McGee Hopefully when they get a tad older and realize that cool is silly , they'll be thrilled to dance with dad(?) to AH . But wait , they should realize already that having a dad(?) that listens to this is (good)-cool squared , ¿no? . Yes !
ElectronEntanglement Do you all try to make the faces too ? Her last expression in this vid is astonishing . At first it's just gorgeous Hannah/Aldous and then one side of her upper lip lifts and her eyes slay you . I suppose that sounds crazy ,,, but isn't that what we loved about talent like Bette Davis , Toshiro Mifune and Peter Ustinov ? Sorry , I can't sleep... Your kids are lucky !
I'm no expert but the first thing that struct me after the music was the styling and the way the shots were framed. Both really do it for me. That slow mo silhouette shot is fantastic!
The ONLY Singer/writer/artist/musician that’s ‘method’ every song, is a completely unique story, style, story! It’s took me a couple of years to work out, that this amazing WOMAN, channel’s a unheard souls life, times, location style, etc… I get lost in every song/video I can’t think of anyone else who takes herself and us on a complete journey! I wish I could explain myself better! Can’t, but I know, what she’s doing!!! Xxx
Thank you for this comment ! I share exactly the same feeling. For me, this album is an emotional blast.... Like a storm that no weather forecast could have anticipated... Simply crazy !
She's just so stunning. It's refreshing to see an artist who both takes herself seriously yet also doesn't take herself too seriously. Those little jump cuts of her with her tambourine are so adorable.

I'm one of those people who fell in love with the "4AD sound" of yore... and I find Aldous Harding to be a perfect example of that ethereal sound from the mid 80s transported to 2019. Love her voice and sound and how much she can make with her minimalist sound.
This is the second video and second song I've ever heard of hers. I have no idea how I discovered this but I am already hooked. The amount of intensity in these videos is insane.
After several days and countless watchings of this video this song has become an earworm to me. I can't get it out of my head. However unlike most earworms I welcome it gladly and I smile wide when I 'hear' it. Thank you Aldous for this gem of a song and video.
This is a beautiful piece of music. I love the lazy way her melody and words wraps around the harmony. She pronounces things in way I like. The vowels and plosives are gratifying. It's weird. She's weird. Not everyone is okay. Some people are okay. We'll find out.
This vid fully does justice to one of the best decisions I've ever made: seeing Aldous Harding live in a small venue......priceless. Seems to resonate with everything there ever was and will be......
POV you heard Lorde's new single and were reminded of Aldous so you googled "Does Lorde like Aldous Harding" and you found the heaps of praise Lorde has written about her
Received my copy of Designer on the 28th. What a delight it is to listen to. Every song here so very well crafted. Aldous Harding's music is both magical and masterful. A real Gem of an album. I adore.
Another beautiful song and video from Aldous. I’ve been watching The Barrel on repeat for weeks now, I’ve got a feeling I might do the same with this one. I’ve just noticed that you can’t see what she’s sitting on, if you look closely as the camera zooms in it looks like an empty space, it’s amazing.....this song is so good I love it
For the first time, I feel like there's a kinship between AH and Air ... from the harmonics, through to the lyrics and the one-two shuffle of her breathy draw-outs. In the absolute best way, this could almost be a track of Talkie Walkie
‘Fixture Picture’ is likely a kiss-off to Harding’s ex-lover, Marlon Williams, who was the subject of much of her 2017 record ‘Party’. However, the track is far from resentful. It instead expresses a contentness in moving on and reveals Harding is now happier within herself today. She doesn’t regret their relationship, but looks back on it and is at peace. It appears the song may directly reference how Williams won the acclaimed APRA Silver Scroll in 2018 for his duet with Aldous, ‘Nobody Gets What They Want Anymore’. The ‘fixture picture’ itself might refer to the plaque the pair were awarded upon winning... courtesy of Dani !
Love Aldous I find her very unique and her lyrics hold a moment of time for her and sometimes all of us like this one where her love goes off to another, but what a song like all her songs they are thought provoking and so different brilliant hope she has a long a fruitful career
Amazing song...I believe the video was shot at a place called Samphire Hoe between Folkestone and Dover in Kent...All the land they are stood on was the soil etc that came out of the construction of the Channel Tunnel.
I love her outfits, kinda reminds me of video game boss especially her white hats. It’s like where you walk up to her and she immediately starts playing like a bard attacking you with the guitar and her band members are her shadow minions.

So so so beautiful. Such a gentle and weird vibe... feels like a strange memory of a summer that never happened and is in turn missing from this pandemic year of 2020
This album is going to be an elaborate marketing exercise to promote Aldous's new Hat shop.
A new hat shop that offers very specific dances lessons
@@joaoignacio1978 where can I sign up?
Would like one to cover my torso if possible.
Brim full of Aldous...
hahahaha!!! nice one ;-)
Aldous Harding is my new favorite artist. I have 5 kids and we've been all trying to do her dances from "The Barrel". She is absolutely a genius.
ElectronEntanglement the blue mask ahahahaha
ElectronEntanglement sounds like fun
That's a great idea! I would love to do that with my kids, but they're a bit too old & "cool" now to think that would be fun... Miss that type of goofy fun!
SampleText McGee Hopefully when they get a tad older and realize that cool is silly , they'll be thrilled to dance with dad(?) to AH . But wait , they should realize already that having a dad(?) that listens to this is (good)-cool squared , ¿no? . Yes !

I was today years old when I discovered Aldous Harding and now I'm going to cry
Can we talk about the cinematography? It's GLORIOUS!!
Totally! Classic compositions and contrast of light and colour.
I'm very impressed!!
Yea remins me of Wes anderson style
I'm no expert but the first thing that struct me after the music was the styling and the way the shots were framed. Both really do it for me. That slow mo silhouette shot is fantastic!
The song is title is literally fixture picture what were you expecting from harding
Aldous makes me feel better about the human race. If someone can create something so odd, so beautiful, we might make it.
i think this is pretty much the only good stuff we have left to hang on to will everything else around us implodes and combusts and suffocates
She makes me feel like it’s all going to be ok
i completely agree a glimmer of hope
We won't make "it."
that subtle dance she does kills me, i'm so excited for this album
theboyinbrown and she does something different with this new album as well. Super stoked about it
She dances like she gives interviews. Just the basics, nothing flowery
@@IanMcCausland Less is more
@@IanMcCausland lol. spot on.
But she does it with such conviction.
Her face can go from placid to terrifying in the blink of an eye. I'm in love.
I love love love love love this woman. I DO.
My favourite mad aunt.
more like a mad hatter
You must be 12 or so? ;)
Oh, that it were so!
@@elzetd ha ha love it.
I love this mad aunt comment ❤️
One of the most important artists of our time and should be supported to the fullest...
Already bought the new album and 2 concert tickets :D
Can't agree with you more.
Why?
your knowledge of music amazes me! NOOOOOOT
yeah Id like to know "why" as well..
The ONLY Singer/writer/artist/musician that’s ‘method’ every song, is a completely unique story, style, story!

I wish I could explain myself better! Can’t, but I know, what she’s doing!!! Xxx
It’s like every inflection of her voice evokes a different persona, right? Every color that she uses is a different character in the narrative.
@lee32476 it's because earth is a test and reincarnating here is real till you pass the test. This is my last time here.
Aldous Harding dances like an A.I. trying to figure out how to dance and I am absolutely 100% here for it.
her hats are iconic
tiago costa apparently they are a specific designer
her whole schtick is obviously influenced by The Holy Mountain, which of course while not new or original is fine by me. It's visually arresting.
tiago she's literally the mad hatter of music
Napoleon: Hold my Courvoisier
Her iconic are hats.
That little smirk at the end, damn that works.
Can't. Stop. Listening. She's so many steps ahead, it takes a while to catch up...
Thank you for this comment ! I share exactly the same feeling. For me, this album is an emotional blast.... Like a storm that no weather forecast could have anticipated... Simply crazy !
Totally
She's just so stunning. It's refreshing to see an artist who both takes herself seriously yet also doesn't take herself too seriously. Those little jump cuts of her with her tambourine are so adorable.
I thought the same of the video! I’ve never seen anyone make a tambourine look soo cool!
anyone else really hyped for this album??? like i wake up everyday so so excited and don’t know if that’s normal or not
SAme.
I am, can't wait. I think it'll take a while for people to realize how good she is, it always does.
It is my whole life.
I definitely agree, I feel like she’s gaining cult status
Yep!

One day we'll share a glass together and the ride the dunes
I'm writing tune

The most inspirational musician I have heard in years. I am reborn.
That simple chorus is magic indeed. Heavily enchanted.
This lady has powers!
I love how she's always changing her voice, reminds me of the versatility of Kate Bush
th-cam.com/video/OlQnQpVduE4/w-d-xo.html
Would love to see her land on Jimmy Fallon they would love her
She does a great rendition of Wuthering heights
I totally agree. On her first couple of verses to Designer she sounds exactly like Kate Bush.
It's like Neil Young's Harvest Moon and Beck's Morning Phase had a baby girl. Simply fantastic.
Moonlit exactly
getting some early Sean Lennon vibes too
and Air
@@rockymentis8371 So very yes. Just said the same thing, then scrolled down, and you'd got there first ...
@@ssstammering hehe.
This is the second video and second song I've ever heard of hers. I have no idea how I discovered this but I am already hooked. The amount of intensity in these videos is insane.
She is a song-writing video-choreographing face-pulling genius. In awe.
Like. This made me feel feelings I haven't experienced since learning about Sufjan in 2005.
After several days and countless watchings of this video this song has become an earworm to me. I can't get it out of my head. However unlike most earworms I welcome it gladly and I smile wide when I 'hear' it. Thank you Aldous for this gem of a song and video.
I cannot stop watching❤
I’m so 4 years behind on this angel of songwriting and performance. Doh..
This is a beautiful piece of music. I love the lazy way her melody and words wraps around the harmony. She pronounces things in way I like. The vowels and plosives are gratifying. It's weird. She's weird. Not everyone is okay. Some people are okay. We'll find out.
See what she does? She makes us speak in poems.
Or not.🤔🤫🙃🤭🤪😁😉😘
@@wildrosecece YES!!
She's turned my entire world into one.
Next level dimension, transcends time and space and all that is.🙏
This vid fully does justice to one of the best decisions I've ever made: seeing Aldous Harding live in a small venue......priceless. Seems to resonate with everything there ever was and will be......
Her power stance gets me everyTIME!
PorshSings her power stance indeed !!! You noticed! Now ask yourself why?
Can you guys time stamp her power stance
Large hats have never felt so ominous and I love it so much
This really grows on you after a while .. really had a need (longing) to hear this today again!
She is a pure soul. A human being who is free of false fears in expressing herself. Its cleansing to see that. She knows how to BE
Live in the now. Do whatever excites you at any given moment and you keep your energy flowing.
Thank you Aldous for doing what you love, with love.
That smile or is it a sneer? near the end. Great .
I'm completely enthralled with that smile. I have that frame frozen on a screen shot. Currently being used as my Facebook cover. :)
It’s a distracted amused grin.
That's a...
" WHAT???..." Look if I ever saw one...
A smeer. Or a snile. How about a snoorl.
I can't explain how I like this song. It's definitely in my TOP 5!
This is definitely kind of music you get from a country that doesn't have to worry about snakes.
Can’t stop smiling...this album is going to be a game changer for Aldous
POV you heard Lorde's new single and were reminded of Aldous so you googled "Does Lorde like Aldous Harding" and you found the heaps of praise Lorde has written about her
This is some timeless stuff right here!
Brilliant! She just seems to get better and better.
4:00 Legend has it she's still on the cliffs playing her guitar. You can hear her when the wind blows just so...
I'm glad there's still original music out there, this is great. She's very talented.
O man theres shit ton of original music, its quite insane
Perfect weather/sky, for a perfect piece of film.🙏💫✨
I come back to this often. It's beautiful.🔥
I love that underlying basswork!
That's what I noticed too, that bass player really cares about what he's doing, packed with melody.
It's Sweet Baboo on bass (not in the vid tho) - www.sweetbaboo.co.uk
dont wanna sound pretentious but i think its merely competent. I hope they punch it up a bit sometime in a future version.
Totally on the money. Less is more and this cracks it 100%
Reminds me of McCartney's style; love it
They covered that dude's face because he's hysterically laughing. Love Aldous, and her "dancing".
Received my copy of Designer on the 28th. What a delight it is to listen to. Every song here so very well crafted. Aldous Harding's music is both magical and masterful. A real Gem of an album. I adore.
"You can't be pure and in love" - so beautiful voice. Love her voice omfg! Yes I have to swear cause she is so good. Sorry.
I've heard this song for years, but this is the first time seeing the video. It's amazing.
I love the colors of this video, she's all in red, while everything around her is "white" and black. It is astonishing...
Her voice in this is so different for her, soft and gentle, but you can tell it's her. Such a fantastic artist.
I have never been so excited for another album or artist in my life. Aldous is a visionary.
"Picture Fixture" debuted at #13 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!
Aldous, voilà une personne qui sait se mettre en valeur, sublime.
Another beautiful song and video from Aldous. I’ve been watching The Barrel on repeat for weeks now, I’ve got a feeling I might do the same with this one.
I’ve just noticed that you can’t see what she’s sitting on, if you look closely as the camera zooms in it looks like an empty space, it’s amazing.....this song is so good I love it
Seeing her next month in Boston. She will be a permanent fixture picture in my mind. I’m honored. 😎
No hat when I saw her live. but, the performance was worthy of tipping of one's hat to it a millions times over. And those intense eyes!
Killer songwriter! and I love her.
She has finally found her sound and is basking in her real beauty... great hats
This song solves the question; "what should i listen to this lifetime?"
Getting super strong Jodorowsky vibes from both this video and the one for The Barrel
i blame the hat
Yeah, it's very Holy Mountain and I love it
If Remedios Varo had a soundtrack...
Yesss
I can't stop watching this, it is so good
I hope nobody copies her, but I do hope young artists take a page from her book: don’t follow trends, do whatever you please.
For the first time, I feel like there's a kinship between AH and Air ... from the harmonics, through to the lyrics and the one-two shuffle of her breathy draw-outs. In the absolute best way, this could almost be a track of Talkie Walkie
Too crazy Good.. the Muse Defined!
The way the harmony changes on the very last "Fixture Picture" gives me an ASMR response.
What a time to be alive! This and The Barrel just instantly sound like super distilled Aldous. Plus some big El Topo vibes on this vid
I was thinking more the final shot from The Holy Mountain.
‘Fixture Picture’ is likely a kiss-off to Harding’s ex-lover, Marlon Williams, who was the subject of much of her 2017 record ‘Party’. However, the track is far from resentful. It instead expresses a contentness in moving on and reveals Harding is now happier within herself today. She doesn’t regret their relationship, but looks back on it and is at peace.
It appears the song may directly reference how Williams won the acclaimed APRA Silver Scroll in 2018 for his duet with Aldous, ‘Nobody Gets What They Want Anymore’. The ‘fixture picture’ itself might refer to the plaque the pair were awarded upon winning... courtesy of Dani !
Her presence often leaves me feeling unsettled and just a little bit frightened. I like it :)
Love Aldous I find her very unique and her lyrics hold a moment of time for her and sometimes all of us like this one where her love goes off to another, but what a song like all her songs they are thought provoking and so different brilliant hope she has a long a fruitful career
"You can't be pure and in love"
I hope I heard that lyric correctly because it is.
This is pure summer of love shit right here. So good.
This album comes out the week of my 48th birthday.
BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER.
Glad I pre-ordered the gold vinyl before everyone figures out how amazing she is.
There's something really nostalgically classy about this music video
Amazing song...I believe the video was shot at a place called Samphire Hoe between Folkestone and Dover in Kent...All the land they are stood on was the soil etc that came out of the construction of the Channel Tunnel.
Aldous never fails to give us a great show both audibly and visually
The witch is back AAHHH - I love it
I love her outfits, kinda reminds me of video game boss especially her white hats. It’s like where you walk up to her and she immediately starts playing like a bard attacking you with the guitar and her band members are her shadow minions.
Her singing style here reminds me of Trish Keenan of Broadcast! This is sublime!
Another song to get me stuck on repeat. 😑.. great Aldous.. just great
her songs get stuck in your head but no in a pop music way

New Aldous and Cate Le Bon in the same month. That's the rest of Spring and Summer sorted.
So so so beautiful. Such a gentle and weird vibe... feels like a strange memory of a summer that never happened and is in turn missing from this pandemic year of 2020
Proud to be a fan 💚
A Song just a song
A beautiful song
"There is a definite vibe"
Weird and wonderful leaves me excited and tapping my feet, thanks for being a true artist. Love ya to Bitz.
Just saw her at Rough Trade NYC. I think she is brilliant.
Beautiful song accompanied by amazing background of the mountains!
the visuals are just so good
those mountains are near me but Ms Harding makes them so oddly weirdly odd - she's a picture. Cant stop watching this. Brilliant.
Where are those mountains?
@@ammonitelight Southern alps NZ - perhaps Porters Pass. .
She should be in Marvels Avengers, her power of hats and dark sarcasm could destroy worlds. I take my hat off to the mighty Aldous
Wow!!! This is such an awesome tune. Drift away to this. Great artist.
Loving the renaissance chic vibe she's emanating
Best new album of the year.
Brilliant song and video from a true artist. Aldous, always inspiring.
