"@@@@@" is a mixtape [2] released as a single by Venezuelan record producer Arca. It premiered on NTS Radio on 19 February 2020. [3] It was officially released on 21 February 2020 via XL Recordings. [4]
On 18 February 2020, Arca announced she would be premiering new music alongside posting a cryptic video to her social media accounts. [5] The mix premiered at 6pm GMT on NTS Radio. [6] Shortly after, a visual directed by Frederik Heyman accompanying all 62 minutes of the mix was uploaded to Arca's YouTube channel. [7] Tour dates were also announced the same day. "@@@@@" was officially released on 21 February 2020 and a tracklist was also revealed via Arca's social media. [4] In an accompanying statement, Arca said that the track is "a transmission broadcasted into this world from a speculative fictional universe in which the fundamentally analogue format of FM pirate radio remains one of few means to escape authoritarian surveillance powered by a hostage sentience gestated by a post-singularity AI." [3] The single was mastered by Enyang Urbiks in Berlin. [8]
All tracks written and produced by Alejandra Ghersi. Tracklist adapted from YouTube. [7]
