“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Arca's New Album Out Today

I'm super excited about Arca's new album, Mutant. I've been helping him (too slowly!) conceptualize what it's doing, which has been amazing for me, because the sound is just breathtaking.

Arca produced Björk's Vulnicura (wounded healer! Precisely, Björk!) and Kanye West's Yeezus.

I'll give that a try. You should write something about it. It seems the critics like it, but are a little confused by it.

Here's a review from The Quietus

Arca -- Mutant

"This set is out there in the way that an exoplanet is out there--identifiable, but also thrillingly unknowable, able to bend your senses with its endless shape shifting and knock you sideways with its hallucinatory beauty."
