"Judging by the spellbinding songs on Aldous Harding's second album, the party of the title isn't a right old knees-up with jelly and ice cream - more likely she's party to a crime of passion .... It's an album that creates a very particular headspace of desire, paranoia and possibility".

"Harding's writing style begs for sonic melodrama in the same way that Lana Del Ray, Tales of Us-era Goldfrapp, or even Agnes Obel's do, but by stripping her balladry of any ostentatious finery, her myriad discomforts and occasional small joys are conveyed in a way that feels bereft of any sort of hyperbole. Party finds the sweet spot between raw and refined, and in doing so, feels very real".

"Americana might need a new name, so many sterling exemplars have been rolling in off the South Pacific: Nadia Reid and Julia Jacklin, for two. The latest is Aldous Harding, whose second album of hypnotic folk flowers into something far more opaque and artistically evolved".
