Arlo Parks has announced her new album 'Ambiguous Desire' with a UK record store tour
The album features production from Baird, known for work with Brockhampton.
Arlo Parks has announced her upcoming album 'Ambiguous Desire', set to be released on 3rd April via Transgressive Records.
The album sees Parks exploring new musical territories, drawing inspiration from the queer hedonism of NYC’s Paradise Garage and the moody beats of The Streets and Burial.
Reflecting on the creation of the album, Parks says, "I danced more than ever as I made this record, I made more friends than ever too, found myself in the weird underbelly of New York juke nights, unleashed, laughed and laughed and laughed. This record has desire at its center. Desire is a life force, it’s a wanting, a yearning, a momentum - we are all alive because there is something or someone we want - desire is an engine. But it is also mysterious, tangled, random, enlightening and HUMAN."
Accompanying the album announcement is the release of the new single '2SIDED', of which she adds, "At its core '2SIDED' is about yearning and tension. It’s about being struck by a bolt of desire and building up the courage to put language to that feeling, to make it real."
