Arlo Parks has officially announced her third studio album 'Ambiguous Desire', set for release on the 3rd April via Transgressive Records. The twice Grammy-nominated, BRIT and Mercury Prize-winning artist enters a bold new chapter with this project, trading in her signature live-band sound for a world built around modular synths, samplers, and pulsating club textures. The result is a confident and experimental record inspired by late nights, longing, and liberation.

Drawing influence from the sweat-soaked euphoria of NYC’s Paradise Garage, the dark pulse of Burial and The Streets, and the emotional release of LCD Soundsystem, 'Ambiguous Desire' captures a new version of Parks that thrives in dim light and craves connection through sound and movement.

To accompany the announcement, Arlo has released the album’s lead single '2SIDED', which premiered as BBC Radio 1’s Hottest Record. The track unfolds with shimmering synths and intricate drum loops, exploring the hopeful ache of unspoken attraction. A Molly Burdett-directed video brings the track’s emotional push-pull to life through dance and intimate visuals.
