Arca is the incarnation of Alejandro Ghersi, a 24-year old Venezuelan producer and musician releasing his debut LP, Xen in the fall. Having previously released EPs, mix-tapes, and produced for the likes of FKA Twigs, Bjork, and Kanye West Arca's music is uniquely his own. XEN is a very personal record for Arca, with the underlying concept revolving around gender and sexuality. However, gender isn't the defining concept but rather a vessel with which to expose Arca's vulnerability. Arca works closely with visual artist, Jesse Kanda who created the album cover for XEN.
