Crafting folk with a bleak, haunting restraint, Kiwi Aldous Harding is beyond powerful as each syllable is stretched out with slight tremolo on No Peace, a hopeless ballad rich with heartache. An uncompromising landscape is invoked with pastoral tone, a universal and timeless burden, contentment burrowed within malcontent, a profound statement of resignation.
