Aldous Harding’s New Album, First Single Reveal

On 8th May 2026, Aldous Harding will release her fifth studio album, Train On The Island. Today, the Aotearoa artist shares a first taste in the form of the single ‘One Stop’. Premiered by Huw Stephens on his BBC 6Music radio show, ‘One Stop’ is accompanied by a Harding-fronted video directed by Michelle Henning.

The 10-track Train On The Island was co-produced by long-time collaborator John Parish (PJ Harvey, Dry Cleaning) at Rockfield Studios in Monmouth, Wales, where the pair recorded the New Zealander’s previous bodies of work, Party (2017), Designer (2019) and Warm Chris (2022). Joining Harding and Parish on Train On The Island were pedal steel player Joe Harvey-Whyte, harpist Mali Llywelyn, synth artist Thomas Poli, drummer Sebastian Rochford (Polar Bear) and Huw Evans (H. Hawkline) on bass, vocals, acoustic/electric guitar and organ.

Train On The Island will be available digitally and on CD, red vinyl gatefold, exclusive ‘Flying Nun Black’ vinyl gatefold, and exclusive ‘Holiday Records Copper’ vinyl gatefold [limited to 50 copies] — out on 8th May 2026 via Flying Nun Records.
