Bleep

Super Sad Generation combines Arlo Parks’ 2019 EP of the same name with the Sophie EP that the London-based singer-songwriter released later that year. These tunes still hit with the same quiet force that they did a year ago. Hushed yet powerful, the songs here mix sounds and styles with a languid air reminiscent of King Krule. Parks’ wistful coo and wise-beyond-her-years lyrics are the glue that hold Super Sad Generation together - her prowess as a wordsmith is enforced by closing track ‘London Poem’, a spoken-word piece which provides a powerful coda to this combo edition of Super Sad Generation/Sophie.
