British singer-songwriter Arlo Parks has announced her latest album, My Soft Machine, set to be released on Friday, May 26 via Transgressive. The announcement was accompanied by a lead single and coinciding music video, directed by Marc Oller, “Weightless.”

As described by Parks herself, “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.”

The upcoming album features a collaboration with Phoebe Bridgers. This is not their first time collaborating, the two previously performed together at BBC Radio 1 and Coachella in 2022.

Parks is set to embark on a small European tour this fall. Find tickets and more information here. (Pitchfork)
