HNAF (Hot New Album Fridays): Soulful Pop | Arlo Parks - ‘My Soft Machine’

My Soft Machine is a brilliant soulful, pop, psych, tour de force. It’s easy to get lost in this melodic and beautifully produced album by Arlo Parks. A cohesive blend of psychedelia, soul, pop and stimulating synths. This is one of the few albums that has come out in the past 2 years where we can say every track is our favorite track. Parks has delivered a captivating album and we rate this a 10/10! READ More: Arlo Parks celebrates the release of her highly anticipated album, My Soft Machine, out today via Transgressive Records. This deeply personal body of work takes listeners on a captivating journey through Parks' experiences in her early 20s. The album features previously released singles "Blades," "Weightless," "Impurities," "Devotion," and "Pegasus," a delicate and beautiful ballad created in collaboration with her close friend and acclaimed musician Phoebe Bridgers. My Soft Machine marks a significant milestone in the twice Grammy-nominated, Mercury Prize, and BRIT Award-winning artists already illustrious career. The album is a testament to her growth as an artist, showcasing her unique storytelling ability and introspective lyricism. Recorded between London and Los Angeles, the album features an impressive roster of producers including Paul Epworth, Ariel Rechtshaid, Romil Hemnani (Brockhampton), Buddy Ross (known for collaborations with Frank Ocean), Carter Lang (known for working with SZA), and self-production from Arlo herself. Leading into the release Arlo has graced the covers of Paste Magazine, GQ Hype, The Guardian Film & Music, DORK, MusicWeek, DIY and Gay Times. Parks shares about how the new album and album title came to fruition in this beautiful performance video noting: "The world/our 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 it’s like to be trapped in this particular body. There is a quote from a Joanna Hogg film called The Souvenir, it’s an A24 semi-autobiographical film with Tilda Swinton - it recounts a young film student falling in love with an older, charismatic man then being drawn into his addiction - in an early scene he’s explaining why people watch films - 'we don’t want to see life as it is played out we want to see life as it is experienced in this soft machine.' So there we have it... My Soft Machine." My Soft Machine follows her highly-praised debut album Collapsed in Sunbeams, which received two Grammy nominations for Best New Artist and Best Alternative Music Album, won the BRIT Award for Best New Artist, received the Honda Mercury Prize, and won the BBC Introducing Artist Of The Year Award. Her debut album also reached the top 3 on the UK Album Charts and won the AIM Awards for Best Independent Album and UK Independent Breakthrough. On top of all this, Arlo was also nominated for Breakthrough International Act at the BET Awards. Arlo was named as the youngest ever high-profile supporter of UNICEF and an ambassador for UK mental health charity CALM. She has plans to continue her extensive work with both charities.

Culture of silencing any challenge to prevailing ideology is damaging academic freedom, says professor

The press release that accompanies Prof Kathleen Stock’s new book says she wants to see a future in which trans rights activists and gender-critical feminists collaborate to achieve some of their political aims. But she concedes that this currently seems fanciful. As far as she is concerned, the book, Material Girls, sets out her stall – and she knows a lot of people will find it distasteful.

Stock, a professor of philosophy at the University of Sussex, says the key question she addresses – itself offensive to many – is this: do trans women count as women?

Whatever else about her views is controversial, she is surely on firm ground when she writes that this question has become surrounded by toxicity. But the problem for her is, at least partly, that many people do anything they can to avoid answering it. “Very few people who are sceptical talk about it directly, because they’re frightened,” she says. “It’s so hard psychologically to say, in reply: ‘I’m afraid not.’”

Stock is at pains to say she is not a transphobe, and also that she is sympathetic to the idea that many people feel they are not in the “right” body. What she says she opposes, though, is the institutionalisation of the idea that gender identity is all that matters – that how you identify automatically confers all the entitlements of that sex. And she believes that increasingly in universities and the wider world, that is a view that cannot be challenged.

“There’s a taboo against saying this, but it’s what I believe,” she says. “It’s fair enough if people want to disagree with me, but this is what I think.”

That last statement is loaded, too, because the gender identity row is closely linked, especially on university campuses, with freedom of speech. Campuses are a minefield for those wanting to discuss these issues, she says, and she has faced calls for her university to sack her. So she is supportive of the government’s controversial plans for a free speech bill, which critics including English PEN, Article 19 and Index on Censorship have argued will have the opposite effect.

In a joint letter, they argued that the legislation “may have the inverse effect of further limiting what is deemed ‘acceptable’ speech on campus and introducing a chilling effect both on the content of what is taught and the scope of academic research exploration”.

But Stock backs the bill: “I think vice-chancellors and university management groups have shown that they can’t manage the modern problems around suppression of academic freedom. I think there are some genuine instances of unfair treatment of controversial academics, and those academics should be able to seek meaningful redress.”

This week the University of Essex apologised to two professors, Jo Phoenix and Rosa Freedman, after an independent inquiry found the university had breached its free speech duties when their invitations or talks were cancelled after student complaints.

Stock grew up in Montrose, Scotland, the daughter of a philosophy lecturer and a newspaper proofreader, and studied for her degree at Exeter College, Oxford, going on to do an MA at the University of St Andrews and a PhD at Leeds.

Having come out as gay relatively late in life, she now lives in Sussex with her partner and two sons from her previous marriage. She regards her OBE, awarded earlier this year for services to higher education, as a signal that her views have at least some backing in the establishment.

“Academics being online, students being online – it’s introduced a whole new landscape for dealing with controversial ideas, especially when those ideas are controversial within your peer group or a student body. Threats to academic freedom don’t just come from China, or millionaires trying to buy a library wing for your college; they also come from students whipping up a petition within seconds of you saying something and trying to get you fired.”

Sometimes, she claims, it is more insidious than sackings: “For academics [the gender identity debate] has a chilling effect, because academics believe their careers may suffer in ways that are less visible: they don’t get promoted, or they’re removed from an editorial board.” The net result of all this, she says, is an impoverishment of ideas and knowledge, and damage to the dissemination of information.

Because another of Stock’s key arguments in her book is that her own profession, academia, has failed to look in detail at some claims made by trans activists. She questions some of the data that gets shared regarding violence against trans people, saying that a lot of it is produced by groups that adhere to a particular narrative.

“I don’t doubt that transphobic crime occurs, but I want to know to what extent it occurs in a way that could help the trans community better understand the problem it faces.” She’s disappointed, she says, in some fellow academics for not rising above the fray. “I thought the point of philosophy was that you would be able to argue things without resorting to ad hominem attacks – I thought that was the point of our training.”

How, then, in her view, have we got to where we are? Stock takes issue with Stonewall, the LGBTQ+ charity, which campaigns for trans inclusion and opposes the views of gender-critical feminists. The charity’s Diversity Champions programme is very popular on campuses, and Stock believes this has in part “turned universities into trans activist organisations” through their equality, diversity and inclusion departments.

Beyond this, the introduction of student fees has played its part in the current situation, Stock believes. “As soon as students started to pay, they became customers, and universities became much more deferential. They started talking about coproduction of knowledge, giving them much more choice over the whole experience.” The problem with that, she believes, is that “some young people come along with fixed ideas about gender identity theory, and it’s awkward – especially when universities are branding themselves as LGBT-friendly and queer-friendly.”

Philosophy is a vast space, most of it without risk of abuse. So what keeps her in this particular arena? “I was bullied as a child and I think that gave me experience of social ostracisation and toughened me up,” she says. “I’ve also got amazing support. Sure, some philosophers and colleagues are against my views, but others are very supportive.

“Plus it’s personal for me: I’ve struggled with my body in terms of femininity. I could easily aged 15 have decided I was non-binary or even a boy. And I feel very worried for teenagers who are now foreclosing reproductive possibilities and their future, or damaging their bodily tissues in irreversible ways, based on an idea that they may come to relinquish at a later date.”

One tragedy of the gender identity debate is how hate-filled and polarised it has become. Stock says she has suffered online abuse, but makes it clear that she is going to continue to state her case.

“The story of Queen Joan’s reputed sorcery has often been told before; but it may be well to recall the main facts. Joan, or Joanna, of Navarre, Duchess of Brittany from 1386 to 1399, became in 1403 the second wife, and the Queen of Henry IV, King of England.

The new Queen was received with great pomp and a dowry of 10,000 marks (%6,666 13s. 4d.) per annum was bestowed on her. The royal favour thus shown to her continued throughout the reign of Henry IV; and not only was she on good terms with the King, but her relations with all her step-sons and step-daughters appear to have been friendly throughout her husband’s lifetime.

After his death she seems to have continued for several years on very amicable terms with King Henry V; but in 1419 there came a sudden change. On the 27th September, 1419, the royal council a made an order depriving her of her dowry and all her other revenues and posessions; and four days later she was arrested and taken from her own manor-house of Havering-atte-Bower in Essex to the royal manor-house of Rotherhithe, in Surrey.

The reason, so it was stated in parliament, was that her confessor, John Randolf, a Franciscan friar of Shrewsbury, had accused her “of compassing the death and destruction of our lord the king in the most treasonable and horrible manner that could be devised ”.

Contemporary chroniclers said more bluntly that she had tried “by sorcery and necromancy for to have destroyed the king.(…)”

His royal mistress enjoyed a happier fate. She was, it is true, kept a prisoner for nearly three years, and all her servants and property were taken away from her. But during his last illness, Henry V regretted his treatment of his step-mother, and ordered the restoration of her freedom and her property.

Moreover, her imprisonment was not by any means a burden some one. Other attendants were appointed to replace those who had been removed and for the first few months of her captivity she was given the variety of a certain amount of travel; during that period she was lodged at Rotherhithe, Dartford, Rochester, and possibly other places besides!

This frequent change of residence was, however, probably made to suit the convenience of the government; for during the last two years of her imprisonment she appears to have been at Leeds Castle, in Kent, the whole of the time.(…)

The leniency with which she was treated is even more apparent from an inspection of the list of gifts and rewards, and the expenses for wardrobe and chamber. To allow the Queen at least nineteen grooms and seven pages to wait on her would have been a curious policy if it had been really believed and proved that she had been practising witchcraft in a dangerous manner.

Still more remarkable would it have been to permit her so many clothes for herself and her servants, especially as these clothes were not inexpensive garments of homespun. The materials for them included minever and other choice furs, tartarin (a rich silk stuff), silk laces, cords, and thread, sindon and Flanders linen (both fine linen fabrics), and cloth of various kinds which were all of such a price that they must have been of very good quality.

And it was not only in the matter of clothes that Queen Joan was suffered to gratify her desires. Other purchases for her included chains, rosary, and girdle, all of gold; an ewer, a buckle and pendant, and table-knives, of silver-gilt; l and a candlestick of silver. She bought a wide variety of medicines, often of an expensive kind, doubtless prescribed by the Portuguese physician of Henry IV, (…), who had been appointed to attend her.

(..)  A fragment of a Great Wardrobe book, now in the Public Record Office (Exch. Accts. 40714, f. 12a), (…), shows that Queen Joan was still treated in such a generous - manner that she was able to bestow gifts liberally on her numerous servants, both men and women.

The absence of any allowances for the stable does not necessarily mean that she was no longer permitted to ride out at all; she may have been allowed to use the horses and the carriage (if any) of her governor. She was able to buy considerable quantities of wine, of various kinds-Gscon, Rochelle, and Rhenish; and her menu was good enough for her to entertain from time to time some distinguished visitors, whose standards in gastronomy were high.

The Archbishop of Canterbury came once to dinner, on the 1st April, and the Duke of Gloucester twice to supper, on the 14th April, 1420, and the 10th February, 1421. The Bishop of Winchester, one of the richest Englishmen of his day, spent a short week-end at Leeds Castle in August, 1420, from Friday, the 9th, until Sunday, the 11th. (…)

The impression one gets from these household accounts is that a degree of consideration unusual in the case of a person charged with treason by means of witchcraft was shown towards Joan throughout her imprisonment; and this is in harmony with the other facts known of her captivity.

There is no suggestion anyivhere that she was ever tried for her reputed witchcraft, or even that any further investigations were made after the first alarm in September and October, 1419; and from the letter which Henry V issued during his last illness, ordering the restoration of her freedom and her dowry, it is plain that he regretted by that time the action taken against her in 1419.

(…) She had a little difficulty in recovering her dower, in spite of Henry V’s command; but that was merely because so much of it had been granted away to other persons, and she was eventually compensated fully by other royal grants for these unobtainable revenues formerlv part of her dowry.a Henceforward, she led a very easy and peaceful existence.

Her grandson, Gilles de Bretagne, became a great friend of Henry VI during his stay in England from 1432 to 1434; it is likely that in consequence Joan was viewed with favour by the young King, who certainly treated her with respect and consideration.

He gave her, for example, a valuable New Year’s gift in 1437, consisting of a tablet of gold, garnished with four balas-rubies, eight pearls, and in the midst a great sapphire.

When she died in the July of the same year at Havering-atte-Bower, he saw to it that she was buried with all honour by the side of her second husband, in St. Thomas Becket’s chapel behind the high altar of Canterbury Cathedral.

(…) the commons had resented in parliament in 1415 a petition, which the King had accepted, prayins for the a pulsion of all Bretons, both within the Queen’s household and without, from the realm, as a statute of 7 Henry IV had ordered, on the grounds that these Bretons made it their aim to find out the secrets of the realm, and reveal them to their compatriots, “qe sount les greindres enemyes de vostre Roialme”, and also to carry money and jewels out of the country, to the prejudice of the King and the damage of the whole land.  

There was a long-standing enmity between the seamen of Ensland and Brittany and this was liable to kindle periodical outbursts of national resentment against Queen Joan and her Breton children, servants, and connexions, from 1404 (only a year after her marriage to Henry IV), until at least 1426.

There are firm grounds for supposing that the compelling motive for keeping her a prisoner two years more was a financial one, a motive which may, indeed, have weighed with the government in making her arrest.

From the renewal of the war with France in 1415, parliaments had voted suppIies with unusual generosity; but by 1420 the drain on the exchequer was becoming formidable, and the government may have feared the outbreak of popular murmurings, of which Adam of Usk speaks in 1421, if the burden of taxation were increased any further at that moment.

To deprive Queen Joan of her dowry of 10,000 marks a year would be an important addition to the resources of a badly insolvent government, whose regular income amounted at this time to only just under 256,000 a year. Joan’s dowry had always been a heavy burden on the royal finances, which in the Lancastrian period were in a state of chronic deficiency. (…)”.

Blur Answer Your Queries: 2 of 3 (Part 1 is missing)

If you could kill anyone and blame it on any of the Oasis blokes, who would it be? (Karen Torres, California)

Alex: “Steven Wells.”

Damon: “John Lennon. Definitely.”

Would you ever return to writing more commercial pop songs, or is each Blur album going to be more extreme in its experimentation? (Bob Thompson, Ontario)

Damon: “I think ‘Tender’ is a real pop song. So’s ‘Coffee And TV’. We always write pop songs. It’s not Steps, no. But it’s not Throbbing Gristle, either.”

Dave: “We did a show with Steps yesterday, a live broadcast to Japan with Jamiroquai and Paul Weller, Nick Cave, and The Corrs. I thought they had a very easy job, to be honest.”

Alex: “Yeah. But they had to wear yellow.”

Graham: “They’re very healthy people.”

Alex: “The Corrs, meanwhile, just keep getting prettier.”

Damon: “Who are The Corrs? If you asked me to identify them, I couldn’t.”

Graham: “They all need a month on the pasta.”

Alex: “They want to fucking start rocking out a bit, and swearing.”

What music is on your stereos today? Jeffrey Hadzima, Chicago)

Alex: “The Cult‘s Greatest Hits.”

Dave: “Jazz FM.”

Graham: “You want to know everything I’ve listened to today? I had some Handel first, then some Hellacopters, then some Entombed, then some Ruts, then The Clash, then the Gummosoundtrack, then Entombed again.”

Which Blur member do you consider to have the best and most active sex life? (Chris Bell, Leeds)

Damon: “I don’t think I could be presumptious enough to say.”

Alex: “Well, we’re all going steady, aren’t we?

Damon: “I’m certainly the steadiest I’ve ever been.”

Damon, are you going to be a father or not? (Lorraine Prince, Manchester)

Damon: “I’m not answering that question.”

Do any of you have any regrets about your past career? (Andy Roberts, Oxfordshire)

Damon: “I wouldn’t say regrets, exactly, but I think there’s been quite an acute learning curve.”

Graham: “We were like four Tufty Squirells when we started. A great big voice telling us what to do, what not to do. Tufty got run over, didn’t he?”

Alex: “You either regret everything, or you regret nothing. Depending on how you feel.”

Graham: “What if you could go back and erase some of the things you regret, like a video, and then take the time you’ve erased and add it on to the end of your life? I’d be about twenty-four.”

Damon: “What if you could live your life in any order? That would be quite interesting, to live one year as an eighty year old, and the next as a five year old.”

Graham: “Yeah, if you could put your life-player on random. Although it might be a bit of a shock waking up in the morning. You wake up and you’ve shat yourself and wet yourself, and you realize you’re two months old.”

Alex: “I’ve had that happen. Only I was thirty.”

Are you now embarrassed by ‘The Great Escape’? (Billy Hanafi, Richmond)

Damon: “I wouldn’t stand it up as a great work of art, but it’s what came out of that time of our lives. We are responsible for it. You can’t eradicate it. It’s out there forever now. It would take an awful lot of going round to people’s houses and demanding their copies of it. So you’ve got to accept that it exists.”

Who do you most fancy in the public eye? (Tash Samuel, High Wycombe)

Damon: “Have you seen Missy Elliott‘s lips on the cover of The Face? Unbelievable. That’s what I fancy most at the moment, Missy Elliott‘s lips. They’re gorgeous.”

Does Damon believe in true love? What was the meaning behind ‘To The End’? (Becky Blanton, USA)

Damon: “I got that from a comic where there were two kids sitting in the entrance to a barn, and one of them was saying “it looks like we made it to the end”. It’s quite a romantic picture. I love that song. I really like singing it. It appeals to my sense of country boy melancholy.”

Alex: “You’re not a romantic sort, though, are you?

Damon: “I wouldn’t write songs like that unless I was.”

What kind of omelette is enjoyed equally by all members of Blur? (Rachel Monroe, Virginia)

Dave: “Cheese and onion.”

Damon: “I don’t think I like omelettes. Everyone likes tortilla, though, don’t they?”

Alex: “We’re more of a cheese sandwich band, really. You can’t beat cheese and tomato. In all its many variations.”

Graham: “I like DairyLea and those square tomatoes you can get now.”

Damon: “Camembert and soda bread, that’s my favourite.”

Is ‘Beetlebum’ about heroin? (Devon George, Ipswich)

Damon: “No, it’s about MDMA.”

Dave: “My drumming is about heroin.”

Will insects eventually take over the world? (Joanna Farmer, Coventry)

Damon: “That’s a Dave sort of question.”

Dave: “Get some sleep.”

Alex: “Not for a very long time.”

Graham: “But they will, won’t they? A cockroach can live without its head for ten days. Remember when we were in that sauna in New York, and there were all these cockroaches walking around, without a care in the world?”

Alex: “They were the cleanest cockroaches in the world.”

Graham: “Do you think cockroaches kiss?”

Alex: “Not if they don’t have any heads.”

Damon: “I don’t like killing cockroaches. But the best way to do it is with a blow torch.”

Graham: “Do they burn?"

Alex: “The scariest thing I’ve ever seen is a horseshoe crab. Fucking hell. They’ve got all different kinds of legs and landing gear. It’s like a Swiss Army knife under there.”

Dave: “They’re not insects, though. I admire insects. I think people generally like insects more after ‘Antz’ and ‘Bugs’. That gave them personality. But they’re all aliens, though, really.”

Alex: “Imagine if you could spin a web, or sting. It would be nice to have all that tackle. What do humans have to protect ourselves?

Dave: “Our rapier wit.”

(NME, June 1999)
