Having released a pair of EPs last year, Arlo Parks has now detailed her debut full-length album. The English singer-songwriter will share Collapsed in Sunbeams on January 29 through Transgressive.

Collapsed in Sunbeams runs 12 tracks in length, and features Parks' recent singles "Hurt" and "Black Dog." As she explains in a statement, the album "is a series of vignettes and intimate portraits surrounding my adolescence and the people that shaped it. It is rooted in storytelling and nostalgia — I want it to feel both universal and hyper specific."

Alongside today's news, "Green Eyes" arrives alongside a video directed by Louis Bhose. You can hear the song below, which features guitar and backing vocals from Clairo.

"This is a song about self-discovery, self-acceptance and adolescence," Parks said of "Green Eyes." "It is supposed to uplift and comfort those going through hard times."
