"@@@@@" is a mixtape[1] released as a single by Venezuelan record producer Arca. It premiered on NTS Radio on 19 February 2020.[2] It was officially released on 21 February 2020 via XL Recordings.[3]
Background and release
On 18 February 2020, Arca announced she would be premiering new music alongside posting a cryptic video to her social media accounts.[4] The mix premiered at 6pm GMT on NTS Radio.[5] Shortly after, a visual directed by Frederik Heyman accompanying all 62 minutes of the mix was uploaded to Arca's YouTube channel.[6] Tour dates were also announced the same day. "@@@@@" was officially released on 21 February 2020 and a tracklist was also revealed via Arca's social media.[3] In an accompanying statement, Arca said that the track is "a transmission broadcasted into this world from a speculative fictional universe in which the fundamentally analogue format of FM pirate radio remains one of few means to escape authoritarian surveillance powered by a hostage sentience gestated by a post-singularity AI."[2] The single was mastered by Enyang Urbiks in Berlin.[7]
Track listing
All tracks written and produced by Alejandra Ghersi. Tracklist adapted from YouTube.[6]
