Antidote

Antidote

Antidote is home to the best new alternative music in the UK and beyond—a celebration of independence, innovation and artists who don’t just push boundaries but reduce them to rubble. This week, Arlo Parks headlines with dreamy new track “Beams” from her just-released third album Ambiguous Desire. Anchored by piano and Parks’ delicate vocals alongside a driving bassline, the floating, atmospheric track finds the London singer-songwriter contemplating a painful, ending relationship that she can’t quite let go of. “I know I said I’d be OK/But you’re smashing me up,” she sings. “I know it’s late where you are/But I can’t bear hanging up.” Hear the track now, then listen to more must-hear tracks on Antidote now from Dermot Kennedy, Kasabian, Kneecap, Wasia Project and Pixie McCann.
