Additional information
On the heels of the viral success of a handful of early songs, London singer/songwriter and poet Arlo Parks makes her full-length debut with Collapsed in Sunbeams, a set that draws on episodes from adolescence. Sharing an empathic, personal approach that doesn't shy away from matters of heart or mental health issues, some of those songs -- "Eugene," "Cola," and "Black Dog," for instance -- are included on the 12-track album. Another characteristic that Parks' works have in common is an appealing blend of adult-alternative R&B, bedroom pop, and a borderline sophisti-pop that lands her sound in the general vicinity of, say, Sade or Jamila Woods without infringing on their space. Setting her material apart further still are her poetic leanings, and she opens Collapsed in Sunbeams with a nearly minute-long reading of the same name set to arpeggiated acoustic guitar and spacy keyboard tones. The poem's final line, "You shouldn't be afraid to cry in front of me," sets the stage for the openhearted songs to follow, among them "Too Good." That tune's jazzy, syncopated guitar and staccato bass groove uplift regrets like "Why'd we make the simplest things so hard?" Later, the optimistic "Hope" rides skittering drums and lite, improvisational piano chords alongside reassurances like "You're not alone/Why you think you are?/We all have scars/I know it's hard." The jealous "Eugene" is a duskier entry with a similarly elegant groove that scores Parks trying to comfort a friend after a breakup ("You know I like you like that"). Her more poetic tendencies reveal themselves on tracks like the sultry "Green Eyes," which offers "Dragonfruit and peaches in the wine/Kissin' circles underneath your eyes" amongst lyrics about a forbidden young love, and "Portra 400," a song named for a line of Kodak film that includes the phrase "Making rainbows out of something painful." The album's formula is a soothing, pleasant one with sentiment to spare and, as a debut, full of promise. ~ Marcy Donelson
Reviews
Billboard - "With SUNBEAMS, Parks brings her sadness into the light, dusts it off and fortifies her spirit to start hoping again.' NME (Magazine) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "Her music is like a warm hug, a reassurance that everything is going to be OK when the world is dark and things seem out of control. True to form, her debut album is a sanctuary of compassionate lyricism and groove-along tunes." Paste (magazine) - "[H]er narratives remain vivid and often crushing. Likewise intact is her vibrant fusion of rock, jazz, folk and hip-hop, a combination both dedicated to her idols Frank Ocean and Radiohead and sprinkled with a blueness distinctly her own." Pitchfork (Website) - "The hotly tipped 20-year-old singer-songwriter debuts with a cool, confident record..." Clash (Magazine) - "Reflective, intuitive and introspective, COLLAPSED IN SUNBEAMS is an immensely gripping debut."

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

Book arrived safely packaged in perfect order. Item as described, new. Thank you Rarewaves Outlet. Fascinating book, great addition to my collection. Great price. Would recommended this seller. No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
