Arca has had a huge day, and probably deserves to take a nice, long bath. The producer announced a self-tilted LP and released the the opening track Piel, all in just 24 hours.The album is due April 7th on XL Recordings, and the track, well, you can listen to that right now. The central chant of the Spanish-language track loosely translates to “Take me from yesterday’s skin.”
The beautiful cover art is the work of longtime collaborator Jesse Kanda, and a super-short snippet of an ‘alternative’ video on Arca’s YouTube hints at more visuals to come. See the tracklist below.
