‘XXXXX’ is said to be “a body of work that is darker, more aggressive, more experimental, and unwilling to settle into fixed form.”

“Suspended between posthuman augmentation and raw emotion, ‘XXXXX’ exposes the mainframe,” a press release for the album reads. “It is a record born from uncertainty, contradiction, instinct, and surrender—a becoming-machine that continues Arca’s lifelong project of redefining what it means to be human both in, and against, the machine”.

very intrigued with this description given that she's veered so much more toward straight pop/reggaeton in recent years - I think I'd still expect that to bleed into this as well but I'm extremely in if she goes all-out weird again with this album.

Airdoll mix for sure reminded me of why I fell in love with her music in the first place over a decade ago, hoping for more of that energy

In

seeing her boiler room set 2 years ago was one of the greatest experiences ever
