Alejandro Ghersi, better known as Arca, has uploaded another single off of his upcoming Mutant and revealed the track-list and cover art to said sophomore LP.
In the new single “EN,” as with the music video for previous single “Soichiro,” the audience gazes at a central figure through a stationary camera. Shot from below, almost “upskirt”-style, and through a yellow filter, the figure is initially presented as female until it is revealed as Ghersi himself dancing in high-knee boots, playing with androgyny. The song shares similar ambient elements with “Soichiro” but adds distorted voices oscillating between breathing and soft grunts. Watch the full video below:
Mutant will be released on November 20th via Mute Records.
