Arlo Parks playing Leeds Festival 2023 (Gary Mather)
Arlo Parks and The 1975 were on Sunday’s Main Stage West at Leeds Festival.
Arlo Parks and The 1975 are among our round-up of all the sights and sounds from the final day at last weekend’s Leeds Festival.
Parks is out on the road in support of this year’s My Soft Machine album, the follow-up to 2021’s Mercury Prize winning debut Collapsed In Sunbeams recorded with a variety of producers including Paul Epworth:
He has this childlike spirit that I’ve always really loved and he brought that to Blades. I wanted to make something that I can dance to, finally, because I feel like my songs don’t really have that quality in general. So, I took inspiration from bands like ESG, artists like Kaytranada, and a lot of the kind of 70s Zambian psychedelic rock that I love.
