London-reared, L.A.-based musician Arlo Parks will play her first shows in more than a year next month, during which she plans to debut some fresh songs and other surprises.
“I’ve spent the past few years in the studio exploring new sonic palettes, world building and experimenting,” she wrote on Instagram. “I’ve always wanted to show people the workings out of my music, so [longtime collaborator] Baird and I will be bringing our studio setup to the stage for a journey through old and new material. I can’t wait to show you what I’ve been dreaming up, face to face, in three cities that mean a lot to me. Don’t miss out. It’s gonna be magic.”
Parks will play Nov. 27 at Bath House in London, Dec. 2 at Silo in New York and Dec. 5 at Melt in Los Angeles. Tickets go on sale Wednesday (Nov. 12) but fans must sign up through this link for access.
The artist has been off the road while working on the follow-up to 2023’s U.K. top 10 hit My Soft Machine, which is expected to move in a more electronic- and dance-oriented direction than on past projects. One new song, “New Desire,” was posted on YouTube last week and can be sampled below.
“This little idea was born out of a late late night session with Baird,” Parks said of the tune, which was inspired by a voice note “that made me feel like a teenager again — tender with new magic. I wanted to put my heart on the line and write it how it felt.”
