Sidetracked with Arlo Parks
Coachella vs. Glastonbury, the xx聽return, and聽Slayyyter聽love
This week Nick is joined by a very special co-host, Arlo Parks, following the release of her third album, Ambiguous Desire. They discuss how songs come to her, being a sensitive child, accepting a Mercury prize from Annie, trusting yourself as an artist, and how LA inspires her music. Plus, what does an ideal night out look like for Arlo and which does she prefer: Coachella or Glastonbury?
Elsewhere, Slayyyter gets a lot of love, Mitski settles into a residency in a hyper-intimate venue where 鈥測ou can cry,鈥 and the band Angine de Poitrine do something never been done in music before.
We鈥檙e still open to our next Album Club recommendation, with Arlo suggesting a few in this week鈥檚 episode. Send your thoughts in to Annie and Nick! You can send a WhatsApp to 07970082700 or email sidetracked@bbc.co.uk
