This record, through my lens and body, depicts the anxieties of my mid-twenties, the drug abuse of friends around me, my first love, dealing with PTSD\/grief\/self-destruction\/joy, and traversing the world with surprise and emotion?a life trapped within this unique body. I'm quoting from Joanna Hogg's film 'The Souvenir,' a semi-autobiographical film from A24 starring Tilda Swinton, which depicts a young film student falling in love with an older, charismatic man and becoming addicted to him. In an early scene, he explains, 'We don't want to see a life that's acted out. We want to see a life experienced in this soft machine.' From this, the album title became 'My Soft Machine'.\" (Arlo Parks) 'My Soft Machine' won two Grammy Awards, including all four major categories (Best New Artist, Best Alternative Music). This album follows Arlo Parks' debut album, \"Collapsed in Sunbeams,\" which was nominated for an Album of the Year award and won the Brit Award for Best New Artist, the Mercury Prize, and the BBC's Introducing Artist of the Year Award. \"Collapsed in Sunbeams\" reached number 3 on the UK Albums Chart and won the AIM Independent Music Award for Best Independent Album and UK Independent Breakthrough. It was also nominated for the BET Award for Best New International Act, and Parks himself was chosen as UNICEF's youngest ever supporter and became an ambassador for CALM, a UK mental health charity (Parks plans to continue his broad involvement with both charities until 2023). Along with the prestigious awards won last year, Arlo's debut album was included in almost every \"Best Album of 2021\" list and received rave reviews from numerous media outlets, including The Guardian, Rolling Stone, NME, and The FADER. He also performed singles from his debut album on the UK shows Later...With Jools Holland and The Graham Norton Show. He also performed on American shows such as Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, James Corden, CBS This Morning: Saturday, and Ellen DeGeneres. In Japan, he headlined the Red Marquee at Fuji Rock Festival '22 (leading to entry restrictions), and his singles climbed charts such as J-WAVE TOKIO HOT 100. He also graced the cover of the fashion magazine GINZA. Arlo's songwriting has attracted many new fans, including Billie Eilish, Florence Welch, Michelle Obama, Angel Olsen, Phoebe Bridgers, Massive Attack, and renowned writer Zadie Smith. [TRACKLIST] 1.
