“Here’s my voice and all my guts: feel free to judge it. It’s like a bullfight: you’re watching emotional violence for pleasure. So this is a character who, almost as a mockery of the transaction, goes uncomfortably deep, into self-mutilation. ‘You want gore? Here’s gore’” – Arca on Arca

On the 7th April 2017, Arca will release his third full-length eponymous album. The Venezuela-born artist revealed yesterday the first track from the album and unlike his previous, almost grotesque electronic releases, “Piel” is a wonderfully written composition. Entirely sung in Spanish, following the aesthetic of Sin Rumbo, Alejandro Ghersi reveals to the world his more intimate and sensitive side.
