This record is life through my lens, through my body - the mid 20s anxiety, the substance abuse of friends around me, the viscera of being in love for the first time, navigating PTSD and grief and self sabotage and joy, moving through worlds with wonder and sensitivity - what it’s like to be trapped in this particular body. There is a quote from a Joanna Hogg film called the Souvenir, it’s an A24 semi-autobiographical film with Tilda Swinton - it recounts a young film student falling in love with an older, charismatic man as a young film student then being drawn into his addiction - in an early scene he’s explaining why people watch films - “we don’t want to see life as it is played out we want to see life as it is experienced in this soft machine.” So there we have it, the record is called....My Soft Machine.” - \u003cstrong\u003eArlo Parks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e“Music that captures modern-day misery in a way that feels improbably heartening”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e-\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe New York Times\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“I love Arlo” - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBillie Eilish\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“She's an incredible poet” - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhoebe Bridgers\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“\u003c\/em\u003eObsessed\u003cem\u003e” -\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlorence Welch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Transgressive","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":42835782598817,"sku":"SDZ-02008","price":12.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Arlo_Parks_-_My_Soft_Machine_-_Cassette_Tape.jpg?v=1781226028","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/arlo-parks-my-soft-machine","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
