Aldous Harding has announced that her fifth LP, Train on the Island, will arrive on May 8 via 4AD. The news arrives alongside first single “One Stop,” which was released with a music video directed by Michelle Henning. “One Stop” kicks off with an interlocking piano and plucked guitar melody. Harding sings of having met John Cale, which is something I would do, too, if I a) met John Cale and b) could sing like Aldous Harding.

Train on the Island was co-produced by Harding’s long-time collaborator John Parish at Rockfield Studios in Monmouth, Wales. Check out the music video for “One Stop” below, and pre-order the record here.
