Explained everarticulately in her own words below…ldquoThe worldour view of it is peppered by the biggest things we experience our traumas, upbringing, vulnerabilities almost like visual snow. This record is life through my lens, through my body the mid 20s anxiety, the substance abuse of friends around me, the viscera of being in love for the first time, navigating PTSD and grief and self sabotage and joy, moving through worlds with wonder and sensitivity what itrsquos like to be trapped in this particular body. There is a quote from a Joanna Hogg film called the Souvenir, itrsquos an A24 semiautobiographical film with Tilda Swinton it recounts a young film student falling in love with an older, charismatic man as a young film student then being drawn into his addiction in an early scene hersquos explaining why people watch films ldquowe donrsquot want to see life as it is played out we want to see life as it is experienced in this soft machine.rdquo So there we have it, the record is called….My Soft Machine.rdquo Arlo Parks
