Arlo Parks has shared a cover of The xx’s 2010 track ‘VCR’, from the group’s self-titled debut album. The London artist’s stripped-back rendition is part of her ongoing “lo-fi lounge” series. Check it out below.
“imma start covering some tunes that are saving me during lockdown,” Parks wrote on Twitter. “The xx’s first album has this specific sense of sweetness and simple romance. VCR is one of my favourite songs atm it makes me feel free somehow.”

A ‘best of’ compilation CD of the artist’s lo-fi cover series – which can also be found on YouTube – will be featured exclusively alongside merch bundles for the album.
