OF THIS PARISH

As a producer, John Parish’s (above) recent credits include Dry Cleaning and The Goon Sax, but his three-album association with Aldous Harding is clearly a creatively fruitful one, mirroring in some ways his 34-year-long, on-off working relationship with P.J. Harvey. “John has the strange gift of recognising a song’s essence,” Harding tells MOJO. “Like a nameless sense. He’s never told me what that’s like for him. I feel our relationship, one of the most important in my life, has been built on a silent communication between our individual gifts. He may disagree, which… would be perfect.”
