Arca has shared a new four-track project titled Madre. The Barcelona-based producer worked with frequent Radiohead collaborator Oliver Coates on the project’s title track. Listen to the new collection in full below.
Last year, Arca released a new 62-minute piece titled @@@@@ and followed it with the new album KiCk i over the summer. After leading the MUTANTS VOL. 2: RIOT compilation in September, she released 100 new remixes of her KiCk i track “Riquiquí” last month.
Arca shared a brief statement about working with Coates on Madre:
I wrote ‘Madre’ years ago, and I did ‘Madreviolo’ playing the cello myself, before working with Oliver. After recording ‘Madreviolo’, I destroyed the cello I bought specifically for this. It had to be like a one-time thing for the version where I pitched up my vocal to castrati registers. But the original version with my unprocessed vocals, which felt a necessary version to share alongside Madreviolo needed an arrangement that I could envision but couldn’t hear. When I shared the acapella version with Oliver there was an insane resonance and chemistry; where he took it felt like the place I dreamed of but couldn’t reach without him.
