Arca
Mutant
Arca's 2014 album 'Xen' was an angular and at times insular record driven by aggressively queer juxtapositions It served as a study of the self that refused categorisation and embraced erraticism employing confrontational clashes of style and sound to emphasise a morphing dynamic between obscurity and vulnerability At times anxiously selfreflexive at others beauteous and calm it was intermittently personal and withdrawn 'Mutant' is about sensuality and impulsiveness as escape routes out of rigidity 'softness as a weapon when the mind attacks itself' Anxieties are harmonised by self confidence in the optimism and inclusiveness of transformation Mutations expose the resonances and malleability of identity This album takes pride in deformity innocence distortion and vulnerability traits traditionally ostracised as undesirable and regressive 2LP Limited edition triple Gatefold Red Double Vinyl
