Collapsed In Sunbeams [Mustard Yellow Vinyl] (LP)
Arlo Parks
Amoeba Review
Sweet-voiced Arlo Parks debuts with an impressive set of left-of-center pop/soul, featuring poetic lyrics both introspective and observational. "Hurt" is particularly strong with its prominent bassline and subtly catchy vocal melody, offering the gentle reminder: "Just know it won't hurt so much forever." "Black Dog" is similarly sympathetic with its lilting, repetitive strumming and lyrics about a friend's depression. "Green Eyes" is a soft, rich, soul track with a head-bobbing rhythm and uplifting choruses. Collapsed In Sunbeams reveals a fascinating young talent with a bright future.
