According to a statement from Arca, the new album has been “conceived to represent the multiple self-states that exist” within the producer.
Elsewhere on the album, the likes of Boys Noize and Mica Levi will provide contributions.
For now, watch the video for the Sia collaboration ‘Born Yesterday’ below.
Details of the new album follow on from the Venezuelan producer’s enigmatic recent single ‘Incendio’, which was shared last month.
‘Incendio’ arrived as a follow-up to Arca’s four-track EP ‘Madre’, which she released back in January. It also follows her remix of ‘Rain On Me’ by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande, which appeared on the former’s ‘Dawn Of Chromatica’ record earlier this year.

Arca’s most recent full-length effort was ‘KiCk i’, released last June on XL. It featured the singles ‘Nonbinary’, ‘Time’, ‘Mequetrefe’ and ‘KLK’ (featuring Rosalía).
In a four-star review of ‘KiCk i’, NME wrote: “Considering the range of genres incorporated in the album, it’s stunning that it never veers fully towards only one. Instead, ‘KiCk i’ incorporates pop, experimental, noise, electronica and psychedelia into one project.
“Amid a highly acclaimed career, Arca’s latest album presents a new high-water mark.”
