Description
Arlo Parks is a singer, songwriter and poet. Her debut album, Collapsed in Sunbeams was release when she was just 21 and earned her two Grammy nominations, a BRIT Award and the Mercury Music Prize. Her second, My Soft Machine, was released earlier this year. This month marks the publication of her first volume of poetry, The Magic Border, a collection of never-before-seen poems and song lyrics.Parks joins me to talk about her faiure to create a perfect piece of work, her failure to save others, her failure to fit into what other people think of her - and why Phoebe Bridgers epitomises 'big brother energy'. I loved talking to this beautiful human - her thoughtfulness and her lyrical expression will soothe you and make you think.Enjoy!--Arlo's poetry collection, The Magic Border, is out now.--I'm going on tour! To AUSTRALIA, mate! You can now purchase tickets to see me live at Sydney Opera House on 26th February 2024 or the Arts Centre Melbourne on 28th February 2024.--How To Fail With Elizabeth Day is hosted and produced by Elizabeth Day.
