Well, Aldous, you’ve done the impossible. You’ve gotten me to watch a Jimmy Fallon clip on purpose.

[@Midnightblueguy]

She is just otherworldly. Someone said I need to hear this song called the Barrel. ( I'm an Opera singer who is not easily impressed by singers with gimmicks and who intentionally trying and be different ) I watched the video and found myself crying from happiness. I had never heard of seen someone like Aldous. Read up a little bout her and I was hooked. THIS is an exQUIsite singer and artist and human. So grateful for her. ✨

[@pedrofonseca9102]

You can tell how much joy music brings to her life. Aldous' a transcendental performer, exquisite singer

[@erry9895]

I feel Aldous almost channels when she performs. When seeing her live, I felt she returned to the room at the end of each song. She's brilliant!!

[@theecanmole]

Aldous Huxley, is New Zealand's only and most renowned exponent of neo-gothic dream pop! We are truly proud of her!😄

[@LaughingStock_]

It's "folk", pure and simple, and bloody magnificent.

[@snakey973]

She is so unique, so incredible. I really can't find words for the totality of the vibe she produces ❤

[@bolso66]

yes, Aldous writes also quite good books

[@johnkendelhardt2528]

This woman has hats for days

[@GENERICENTITY]

I thought it was a colander on her head at first and would not have been surprised at all if it were. Kinda disappointed actually it wasn't....

[@LDantinhas]

She beats any woman at amazing hat wearing. She’s a natural.

[@Johnnyconfidence]

1. That gold vinyl though 2. I love the Nick Drake vibes of this melody 3. Adore that barely there guitar solo 4. Her faces are so eccentric and silly Godspeed the wonderful music coming out of NZ 👏🏻❤️

[@te9591]

One of her other tracks shares a pretty distinct Neil Young influence IMO.

[@Vishangro]

I love this. The album is superb! Can't stop listening. It has old school folk resonances but is very now. Thankyou Aldous!😎

[@jeffstonehouse1]

So glad I found her. She rocks my world!

[@noodlehat3250]

Love Aldous a true artist who totally immerses herself in her music.

[@ViolenziaDomestica]

Her NPR tiny desk is AMAZING

[@josharthurs6566]

Violenzia Domestica thats how I heard her.

[@paulbrown638]

Having seen that and some of her talk show appearances in New Zealand, I had to laugh when Fallon called this her "TV debut". Because obviously nothing counts but American TV, right? 🙄

[@yseson_]

Love her, she deserves all the exposure in the world

[@alexandernay5631]

I will never forget this performance.

[@meganrevet1998]

I discovered Aldous Harding on SiriusXM radio and I can’t stop listening to her songs and watching her performances. What a refreshing, raw and unique artist!

[@bd.2386]

Did you see her on tour this past month?

[@matthewjones8865]

Different and beautiful. Albous has such a unique voice it’s so beautiful. Great band also and this song has such an amazing feel to it and it takes me to another place. Thanks everyone 🙏

[@adamrpurcell]

Aldous is going on tour in the states soon. If you have a chance, please go see her! She is the most hypnotic live performer you'll see, I sat spellbound at her feet simply in awe as she wove her deep magic. She is channeling something extraordinary through her voice!

[@TWILIGHTR0SE]

Saw her in Denver last month, and still aglow from her performance. We were on the side of stage behind the drummer and could see all her faces, lucky to be in a small room. She really has a way of making you feel connected. I love her so much, and hungry for more, find myself constantly searching out more of her live performances.

[@spitre5456]

I just love her! Her voice, her rhythm! Her uniqueness! Very inspiring!

[@TheBeezusjones]

This entire album is sooOooo gorgeous.. ❣️

[@KrisLunde-tm8xn]

Love how they changed the structure of the song for this environment. I can tell she have great musician around her. This is so sooo refreshing in our mainstream world! ♥️🙏

[@garyfloyd4491]

Love her, love the female backing vocals also, I was nervous watching this..... Go Aldous Harding we are all watching, no pressure.😘😘😘😘😘

[@samanthahuth4075]

[@jimcatalfamo8034]

I came across the video when it just came out. about 10 seconds in i was going to hit next but i couldn't do. by the end i was wow what did i just see and hear. I played it again and again and again. truly amazing.

[@therealitycollective9456]

Hannah is a masterful artist-goddess from a holy and numinous dimension and I can't get enough of the random crazed look in her eyes throughout this performance. I love her.

[@TheBeezusjones]

She's 1000% inside the song

[@theecanmole]

Yeah you bet she is! + 1 here!

[@pmc8451]

Stop being a knob and call her by the name she's chosen to perform under.

[@evanleo1947]

It’s crazy I was recommended to listen to her on Apple music and this song I kept listening to . Congrats to her . Her eyes make it interesting to watch lol

[@mikeofcetacea]

Obsessed with the idea of Aldous Harding confusing normies in America. Keep up the good work

[@yseson_]

I only wish that she had wore her full ghoul suit from the video

[@hypnagogic_kid]

Honestly, I was a bit scared about her tunning down her "weirdness" for the US mainstream audience in this performance, but I'm so happy she's being her quirky self.

[@KamaTanha]

I'm so happy for her. Her success has taken a sharp upswing. I just saw her in a room of like 200 people in Kingston, NY a month ago. I suggest anyone check out her first two albums. Each of them have a different sound. Also, her KEXP session from 2017 is totally captivating.

[@laurenfern]

How was that show? I couldn't go. It seems like she has gotten more confident and dramatic as the tour goes on. Wish I had been there! Will see her in Boston in September in a small room.

Thank God this type of music is entering the mainstream again. Mainstream has been offputting since the 90s ended. We need this. Good on ya Aldous and Company.

Wow considering how stressful a performance like this is, she did sooo good!!

[@EzequielPestanianena]

Why stressfull?

[@Jack.Strait]

@@EzequielPestanianena Because this was most likely the largest performance of her career so far.

[@ecinrm86]

Stressful?? She’s a professional musician, if she gets stressed out by performing, she can always choose another career. I actually really like Aldous Harding, but gtfo with that “stressed out by live performance” bullshit, she’s a fruit loop

[@Jack.Strait]

@@ecinrm86 A lot of musicians aren't necessarily performers. Are you suggesting they all should be?

[@ecinrm86]

JackStrait she’s a professional musician though, so yes, absolutely. It 100% goes with the territory. If you’re a professional musician, performing is your job. And let’s not pretend she doesn’t like performing - her whole schtick is being weird af, making faces and wearing silly outfits.
