Last night Aldous Harding was awarded the prestigious APRA Silver Scroll Award for her inimitable song The Barrel. The song comes off her recent record Designer, which was released in April of this year on Flying Nun Records in New Zealand and 4AD for the rest of the world.
The Flying Nun family wishes their congratulations to Aldous Harding on this exceptional achievement.
With Harding currently on tour, the award was accepted on her behalf by her father. Her acceptance speech was captured on video, and played out during the ceremony. Below is an excerpt:
“Thanks everybody. I think it’s wonderful you believe in us so much, and congratulations to the other nominees… I’ll put the money towards making the same happy mistake again.”

After the critical success of Party (Taite Music Prize winner 2018), Harding came off a 200-date tour last summer and went straight into the studio with a collection of songs written on the road.
Reuniting with John Parish, producer of Party, Harding spent 15 days recording and 10 days mixing her new album at Rockfield Studios, Monmouth and Bristol’s J&J Studio and Playpen. The result would become Designer, a unique and intricate tapestry of songs, sounds and textures that would bring us songs such as The Barrel and Fixture Picture. She would go on to tour the world with this record, performing hundreds of shows across Europe, USA, Australia and New Zealand.
