Pitchfork 'Most Anticipated Albums' "Arlo Parks danced and DJ'd her way into healing on Ambiguous Desire" Rolling Stone “Music that captures modern-day misery in a way that feels improbably heartening”  New York Times "Ascendent" The FADER “With laser-focused lyricism, she pulls blood to the surface” Alternative Press cover story “Floette” LISTEN: https://arloparks.lnk.to/floette  WATCH: https://youtu.be/apMx6qth_1o  Ambiguous Desire LISTEN: https://arloparks.ffm.to/ambiguousdesire   (August 4th, 2026) – Twice Grammy-nominated, Mercury Prize and BRIT Award-winning artist Arlo Parks has joined forces with London-based rapper, poet and producer John Glacier for a striking new reworking of “Floette,” taken from Arlo's critically acclaimed album Ambiguous Desire. Renowned for her boundary-pushing artistry and unmistakable vocal style, John Glacier brings a fresh perspective to the track, her emotionally restrained delivery weaving effortlessly with Parks' delicate melodies. The result is a beautifully understated reimagining of one of Ambiguous Desire's most uplifting moments - a soaring celebration of queer joy. Released in April via Transgressive, Ambiguous Desire was created alongside producer Baird (Brockhampton, Kevin Abstract), with additional production from longtime collaborator Paul Epworth (Adele, Florence + The Machine, Rihanna), Buddy Ross (Frank Ocean, Vampire Weekend) and Andrew Sarlo (Big Thief, Dijon). The album has since been named one of Billboard and Rough Trade's Albums of the Year So Far, following a wave of critical acclaim that saw Classic Pop dub it "her ultimate statement", Rolling Stone UK praise it as her "most versatile work yet", and Pitchfork describe it as Parks at her best. Uncut called the record "frequently wonderful", while DIY hailed it as "her most vividly realised and affecting body of work to date." Sweating under the strobes at Midnight Lovers in LA, dancing to the bass beneath the K Bridge in Greenpoint, finding new faces at Venue MOT in London – these are the dark, enveloping spaces giving life to Ambiguous Desire. Over the past two years, Arlo dove headfirst into nocturnal spaces where she could be whoever she wanted. She drew inspiration from the queer hedonism of NYC’s Paradise Garage to the moody nocturnal British beats of The Streets and Burial, the glittering synth catharsis of LCD Soundsystem, and rooted house grooves of Theo Parrish, losing herself on the dancefloor. The record is Parks at her most confident and experimental, supplanting live band sessions for modular synths, Ableton plugins and samplers that channel the frenetic, vibrant spaces she was immersed in, all while spotlighting the acclaimed poetry and lyricism she’s beloved for.  Reflecting on the making of the record, Parks shares, "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. 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." Featuring on the record are the singles “Get Go,” “Heaven,” and “2SIDED”, as well as the album’s focus song “Beams”. With these releases, Parks has received overwhelming support, including a performance and interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, an appearance on Later… with Jools Holland and playlist additions across BBC Radio 6 Music and BBC Radio 1. She has also taken over studios at NTS Radio in London and KCRW in Los Angeles for her own shows, sharing a mix of club music and current favourites – offering a glimpse into the sounds shaping this era.

A poet as much as a performer, Parks followed up her previous critically acclaimed album My Soft Machine with the debut of her first published book, The Magic Border, a collection of 20 new poems and exclusive images by Daniyel Lowden alongside lyrics from My Soft Machine. Arlo is also a featured writer on Beyoncé’s Grammy-winning album Cowboy Carter.
