The 14-track album is available to pre-order now. Ahead of its release, Arca will give fans their first taste of this new era with a two-hour live-stream performance in collaboration with dating platform Feeld, broadcast from Barcelona on Twitch and YouTube from 9:30pm CEST on 23rd July. Filmed across seven locations, the show blends live performance, streaming and durational, hallucinatory elements, with Arca thanking Feeld for enabling a full-budget production in support of experimental art.
