‘Ambiguous Desire’ will serve as the follow-up to Parks’ 2023 album ‘My Soft Machine’. She has already previewed the project with the singles ‘2SIDED’ and ‘Heaven’.
Speaking about making the LP, she explained: “I danced more than ever as I made this record, I made more friends than ever too, found myself in the weird underbelly of New York juke nights, unleashed, laughed and laughed and laughed.
“This record has desire at its centre. Desire is a life force, it’s a wanting, a yearning, a momentum – we are all alive because there is something or someone we want – desire is an engine. But it is also mysterious, tangled, random, enlightening and HUMAN.”
Parks will showcase the album at a string of intimate gigs across the UK next month – see all dates below and get your tickets here.
