Feels like the characters from a Dutch Golden Age painting having a party behind the canvas

[@amartyamukherjee1995]

That's exactly what crossed my mind. I'm so happy to have come across your comment 😀

[@nankerphelge3771]

Every band secretly wants to have a young Iggy Pop as their front man.

[@kettybrocca5489]

I totally agree 😂

[@Lmlappin1]

Love this comment , so true

[@ronrendon]

[@barrysmith5981]

Reminds me a lot of young David Byrne and early Talking Heads:77 album. Fresh af.

[@ombra711]

She never misses. Love her little cameos shaking fancy free from a creepers POV, and how she managed to manifest her masculine energy into a dancing front man is a mystery for the ages. Loved it.

Looks like he could be a relative.

@Ombra Was it her idea for the video though?

[@cp021882021882]

Not all musicians are artists, but clearly... Aldous explodes with artistic expression and it's amazing. I don't always "get it" but it evidently gets me. She's amazing!

[@immerse_your-soul-in-love]

great commend, spasiba !

[@MrDunkleFrau]

Music is a form of art itself, maybe you mean the visual art and poetry that has this piece jjjkk

[@HP_____]

Excellent point! There are people doing art and then there are artists. She's an artist. You do get it!

[@thomas0101]

THIS: "I don't always "get it" but it evidently gets me. " Very well put... I think if it gets you, you do then get it...

[@JimSuperwhite43]

What a breath of fresh air she is. Everything smacks of total originality---unique, and yet completely accessible. That's the trickiest of tightropes to walk. Hats off to AH and her team of creators.

[@hailboognish]

As usual her music is disarmingly simple at surface level, but beneath that the layers are so perfectly constructed that everything is exactly where it needs to be without being too explosive or technical. It shines on its own merit, and in that regard it’s some of the best music around today. Big Deerhunter vibes off this one, very excited to see where she goes next.

[@doorsheets2637]

Well said. Hard to explain how sometimes the most seemingly simple music can be so gripping and original.

[@tigerjohns0n]

Great song. Thanks for reminding me to listen to deerhunter

[@johnIZaUWL]

Kinda like Kate Bush eh???

Good to see Iggy Pop in his heyday

[@tarokeefe7722]

[@themysticmuse1111]

I really needed this right a-bout now. I'm quite the happy camper. Today is a good day. 😊

[@bd.2386]

This song is pure artistic joy. Dripping with dark, deliciously sinister energy and a rising ominous tension, it flirts with a manic sense of foreboding in the best possible way and I am 100% here for it. 2021 is gonna be alright 😎

[@nickhyder9141]

Interesting pov. I don't find this very dark

[@Ripcookiethief]

I've had this song stuck in my head ALL day long. It's so catchy.

It`s brilliant,not over produced in anyway,really catches the live sound on her last tour! A song for the ages!

totally cosmic. that earth core bass drum that comes in at 2:50 sounding like someone dropping something heavy in the room above the one you're in.

Saw her in Portland in 2019. So much fun. She's very serious onstage, but the audience had a great time.

[@WelfareChrist]

Every time I think I know aldous Harding she proves to me she is yet a complete stranger. I love it.

I LOVE her. Love the man dancing as her. Love this song. Aldous is simply the best.

[@stigmatamartyr4223]

She’s playing in NA during my birthday week. Would make for a really cool birthday to see her

[@vivianeguaitoli5853]

J'adore sa voix, ses mélodies, sa musique, son style, sa ligne (elle est très "visuelle" aussi) sa "singulière originalité", ses chansons sont des tableaux, même si je ne comprends pas toutes les subtilités de la langue, ne pratiquant qu'un anglais relativement basique+, je plonge dans ses univers la tête la première, les bras le long du corps🙃, avec un plaisir jamais dissout.

[@olivierbommart1060]

Découverte par hasard sur Fip, ses 3 albums sont magiques. Vue en concert à Paris en 3 occasions, notamment à la Cigale où elle chantait "Old Peel" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZy5nqKor7aNna8) .Cette remarquable musicienne et mélodiste est proprement "magnétique", totalement habitée par son art. Une tessiture incroyable, elle sait prendre de multiples intonations, toutes au service de textes énigmatiques, que l'on a délice à décoder, à appliquer à ses propres rêveries : "Show the ferret to the egg" ... Comme si un oeuf pouvait avoir peur d'un furet ! Quoique ... ;-)

[@christianugkaczmarek1220]

Découverte fortuite sur une session KEXP. J'ai tout de suite accroché, car elle a un petit pouvoir magnétique. J'adore l'univers de cette artiste. Pas d’équivalent, à mon sens, actuellement. J'ai failli la voir sur scène sur Lille, mais le Covid est passé par là et le concert a malheureusement été annulé. Cette vidéo est aussi peut être le signe d'un nouvel album à venir, enfin, je l’espère.

[@puscifer10000]

I hope she realizes how much us fans really love her. so lucky to be alive during a time when there's geniuses like Aldous creating

[@friendship6668]

100%

[@Johannastairwellstudio]

Yep

[@FusRoDarshinae]

I feel like Martin represents the physical manifestation of Hannah's alter ego Aldous. And Hannah the private person is the naked slightly freaked out looking one, being taken along for the ride in the final scenes. If you want to protect yourself while being famous then it would be sensible to have a tough outer shell/persona to hide under, like an orange 'peel'. But that's just my take on it.

[@petenoakes65]

I think everyone in the band purposely resembles her- especially the singer. Love this idea- I think in the whole video she’s the character pulling herself up in a jumper and then getting a piggyback off her male clone at the end…
