Arca Announces Debut Album, Xen, Shares “Thievery”

After a string of EPs, collaborations with FKA twigs, and contributions to Yeezus, Venezuelan artist Arca has announced his debut album. It’s called Xen and is out November 4 on Mute in the U.S. (and a day before abroad). That’s the cover art by Arca collaborator Jesse Kanda, above, plus the album track “Thievery”. A string of North American appearances has also been confirmed, dates for which are below.

A limited edition version of the vinyl will include a bonus 10″ of unreleased music, hand-numbered and packaged in black PVC.
