Björk's producer and best friend, Arca, has released today her new single @@@@@ through all music platforms.
The Venezuelan musician published the single in advance on February 19th through her YouTube channel and announced it this way:2 clarify: @@@@@ is a single ! thank you for welcoming the release w so much warmth, i’m moved 🐙💖 it’s just the beginning of the year too, so sit tight ! ✨♾🤍 i’m so happy to be sharing music with you all again 🙏🏼 pic.twitter.com/oU7kCjVeo4— ⚧ (@arca1000000) February 20, 2020
@@@@@ 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. The host of the show, known as DIVA EXPERIMENTAL, lives across multiple bodies in space in virtue of her persecution - in order to kill her, one would first have to find all of her bodies. The bodies that host her carry fetishes for paralinguistic, breaking the fourth wall and nurturing a mutant faith in love in the face of fear.
The text notes that Arca also considers @@@@@ as "kindred" to her 2013 mixtape &&&&&.
The new music is Arca’s first since their self-titled album from 2017, which was preceded by 2016 project Entrañas, which featured Mica Levi, and her 2015 album Mutant.
Today Arca affirmed that @@@@@ is "constituted by discrete musical quantums", and that "each quantum has a title":

However, it seems that's not all. Indeed Arca announced a new album for 2020, already premiered at The Shed in New York City between 25th an 28th September 2019 with the four acts of Mutant;Faith. The album will also contain a featuring with Björk, who was hosted by Arca at her show.
