Arca has released the official video for “Fxck”, a standout track from her new album XXXXX, out now via XL Recordings, and announced a run of Latin American dates this autumn.
Directed by longtime collaborator Daniel Sannwald, the video reworks footage from the album’s two-hour XXXXX:Diva.Experimental livestream, staged inside an abandoned factory in Barcelona. It collages the transmission’s defining images and performances into a single audiovisual piece. The livestream, which saw Arca perform the album in full, was followed by 12 daily music videos drawn from the same footage in the lead-up to release.
Arca will play headline shows in Mexico City, São Paulo and Santiago, alongside a handful of festival appearances. XXXXX is her first full-length album in five years, following KiCk i and the KICK pentalogy. Earlier this year she staged her first painting exhibition at London’s ICA, and she has also collaborated with Tokischa on “Chama”, remixed Addison Rae, Robyn and Hikaru Utada, and contributed production to Madonna’s Confessions II.
