I love Fever, the latest single by Aldous Harding, itself a striking vocal departure from previous single, Lawn.
The familiar chord sequences provide an immediate earworm and instinct to break into a jerky dance wherever you might happen to be (actually, the latter bit might just be me).
Fourth album, Warm Chris, is out on Friday and it promises to be a doozy.
Fever, when we met at hotel reception
Never have I been so tired
You said, "You bet"
Guess we did what the other expected
Never have I been so tired
You said, "You bet"
Guess we did what the other expected
Eleven, eleven days in the heat of the city
Together, I had stars coming all around me
And you let, let me in where a mother invested
Together, I had stars coming all around me
And you let, let me in where a mother invested
I still stare at you in the dark
Looking for that thrill in the nothing
All my favorite places are bars
Looking for that thrill in the nothing
All my favorite places are bars
Lover, don't you run at the easy part now
The weather opened up like a birthday card
And we forget one will fight if the other's connected

Well I was supposed to see a gig at the O2 academy Bristol but it was cancelled and as a result I could go to one 'expensive' gig or two 'cheaper' ones. I chose the latter thinking i would check out an artist I haven't seen before. This meant I have a ticket for Ms Harding for later this month and I find her songs very intriguing. I'm hoping that the crowd will be good (it's a Monday so more likely to be respectful) but feel a seated venue may have been more likely to get the right sort of crowd for a gig like this. TBH looked at 8 of her videos and haven't found a bad one yet..
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mike, sorry to hear about the cancelled gig but glad it offered up the opportunity to see Aldous Harding. I was really tempted by the gig, not least for her music, but also having H. Hawkline as support. Unfortunately, the Monday night in Bristol was a contributory factor for me. I'm compensating with a Wednesday night gig in Gloucester in May, seeing The Anchoress aka Catherine Anne Davies, which promises to be a 2023 highlight.
