Arlo Parks Announces New Album My Soft Machine
Arlo Parks is back with new music. The “Eugene” singer released “Weightless,” the first single off her sophomore effort, My Soft Machine.
British singer-songwriter Arlo Parks took to Instagram on January 18 to share some exciting news. She writes, “This feels like the biggest secret I’ve ever had to hold in but I can finally announce that my sophomore album “My Soft Machine” will be released on 26th May 2023!! Eeeeeeek I’m still feeling super vulnerable and raw and giddy about it all but honestly, it just feels so good to be able to start chapter 2!!!”
Parks exploded onto the music scene after the release of her debut studio album, Collapsed in Sunbeams. The singer found herself becoming a two-time Grammy nominee for Best Alternative Album and Best New Artist at the Annual Grammy Awards.
The singer released an accompanying music video to her first single and revealed more of what the track means to her. She expresses, “‘Weightless’ surrounds the painful experience of caring deeply about someone who only gives you tiny breadcrumbs of affection. It’s about suddenly realizing that a person has dulled your edges and embarking on the slow journey back to being a brighter version of yourself.”
In addition to fans’ excitement, Parks went on to unveil the tracklist to My Soft Machine. The record will contain twelve tracks, including a collaboration with the talented Phoebe Bridgers. The tracklist reads:
01 Bruiseless
02 Impurities
03 Devotion

06 Weightless
07 Pegasus [ft. Phoebe Bridgers]
