Album reviews: Arlo Parks lets the sun in, while Bicep serve up an  electronic triumph 

This week's bountiful crop gives us the optimistic sounds of Collapsed In Sunbeams, and a brilliant second album, Isles, from the Belfast duo 

Arlo Parks and Bicep have both released excellent albums.

Arlo Parks - Collapsed in Sunbeams (****)

Arlo Parks is the defiantly optimistic artist we need right now. Arriving during difficult times, the 20 year-old west London songwriter’s debut album is an elegy to hope, positive thinking and keeping going when it feels as if the odds are against you.
