Arlo Parks has released her new album, Ambiguous Desire. The 12-song LP, which was produced by Baird (BROCKHAMPTON, Kevin Abstract) and features Sampha, focuses on desire as a powerful, driving force that fuels human connection, while also being complex and unpredictable.
“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,” Park says. “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.”

To celebrate the album’s release, Parks will perform shows at record stores across the U.K. and a DJ party in London on April 23 with Lil Silva, Oscar Farrell, and Sherelle. She’ll also support David Byrne during a special performance in Ireland this June. Later this summer, she’ll begin a tour across North America before more Europe/U.K. dates this fall.
