Arca has been working on a new album with Hood By Air’s Shayne Oliver. The project is called Wench, and they’ve just shared its first track as a free download, via Dazed. Check it out above.
“We have dozens of songs,” Arca told Dazed. “Forty to fifty tracks. Shayne is doing vocals – it’s a combination of chanting and singing and rap. There wasn’t any conversation. It was completely spontaneous.”
Oliver added:
A lot of it comes from chanting and mantras. Letting up my soul. I think, more than anything else, the beats that were selected were very sexy. You know what I mean? And I reacted to that. They are sexy chants. But not in the way of, ‘I’m going to take you home and take off your panties’ – it’s more sensual.
Last year, Arca released Sheep, his soundtrack to a Hood By Air fashion show.
