Arlo Parks at Royale Boston for Orienteer

Arlo played most of the songs from the newest record, starting the set off with the opening interlude "Bruiseless" which features spoken word poetry. She also released a book of her poetry, "The Magic Border" last fall. In addition to new tracks, Arlo Parks also performed her older tracks such as "Caroline" from her first album which won the UK's Mercury prize in 2021.

Since then, her music has matured and become more rock-influenced; Arlo referenced her love of Radiohead while talking to the crowd between songs and was wearing a Nine Inch Nails t-shirt. These more upbeat new songs like "Weightless" and "Devotion" had the packed venue dancing and singing along with her. At only 23 years old, Arlo has already released a book, two critically acclaimed albums, and sold out many of the dates on her headline tour, which wraps up next week in Brooklyn.
