Arca Unveils New Experimental Album with Full Glam Production

Experimental electronic artist Arca is gearing up for a major sonic release, announcing that their new album, XXXXX, will be dropped next week on July 31. This forthcoming project is not just a collection of tracks; it’s a deliberate journey, echoing the hypnotic spirit of 2020’s music and drawing deeply from the sonic history of 2013.

The anticipation is only fueling the spectacle surrounding the album’s reveal. Before any music has been shared, Arca has thrown open the doors to a live performance event, promising fans a glimpse behind the curtain of this ambitious work. Scheduled for July 23 at 3:30 PM Eastern, the livestream will premiere across YouTube and Twitch.

This upcoming performance is poised to be a vibrant display of artistic vision, crafted under the direction of Daniel Sannwald and styled by Akeem Smith. Arca emphasized the collaborative effort behind the spectacle, noting that with support and investment from Feeld, they were able to bring a show to life with “full glam and budget.”

“Thank you for supporting experimental art,” Arca stated, inviting audiences to tune in and emphasizing their commitment to creating an experience wherever their fans are located. It signals a celebration of boundary-pushing sound design and visual artistry.

The tracklist for XXXXX promises a dense, intoxicating experience, featuring titles such as No End, Willow, Eidolon, Heart, Syncope, Raver, Cinch, Fxck, Finisher, Taconeando, Futurality, Grip, Enraptured, Throb, Everything, and Sueño. Prepare for an immersion into a world defined by rhythm and raw, evolving sound.
