PARKS, ARLO
SUPER SAD GENERATION (BEATNIK CREATIVE)
Park's vinyl debut release now available on CD for the first time! Includes all the tracks from Arlo Parks' first and second EP's, featuring the title track, "Cola" and "Sophie"."Sophie' is a song about "crumbling under expectations and feeling helpless, but with a persistent, quiet sense of hope underpinning it".
True to form, it's a melodic and beautifully articulated sonnet, cementing the notion that she is overwhelmingly considered the majestic voice of Generation Z.
"Arlo Parks has carved out a niche in committing to music the joyous highs and crushing lows of the emotional rollercoaster that is adolescence.
With crushes and comedowns her themes, the west Londoner (raised in Hammersmith) makes confessional, coming-of-age bedroom pop, but says her inspirations range from Allen Ginsberg and Sylvia Plath to Jim Morrison and Fela Kuti." - The Guardian 2019
