Video: Arca - "Thievery"

Arca returns to us today with a Jesse Kandra directed video for his latest single, “Thievery.” I shared an audio stream of the tune several weeks back but Alejandro isn't the type of cat to just phone in his visuals, often providing the viewer with something as equally strange and wonderful as his music tends to be. The tune will appear on the Venezuelan’s forthcoming LP, Xen, which is scheduled to drop on November 4^th via Mute records.

In addition to working on his own music, Acra has also been named as the sole producer for Björk’s new album. 

Listen: Arca - "Thieves"

24-year-old Venezuelan recording  artist, Arca, real name Alejandro Ghersi, is in-demand as ever after making a name for himself in 2013 with his production credits on Kanye West’s Yeezus. Of course I’ve also praised the producer for his work on early FKA Twigs material in 2012 where he also lent some of his signature uneasy production. Though Ghersi has issued a couple of full-length releases before; 2012's Stretch 2 for UNO and last year's &&&&& for Hippos In Tanks; Xen is being billed by Mute Records as his official debut album. It'll arrive on digital, CD and vinyl formats. Limited to 500 copies, the vinyl edition comes sealed in black PVC with a bonus 10-inch of exclusive material and will drop on November 3rd.

You can get a taste for Xen below via a stream of  "Thievery”.
