Arca has announced her new album.

The follow-up to the Venezuelan artist's 'Kick' album series in 2021 is called 'XXXXX' and will be released on July 31 through XL Recordings.

Prior to its arrival, Arca will host an immersive livestream experience via Twitch on July 23 that will offer early insight into the album's world. Get details here.

In an Instagram post introducing the new record, Arca wrote:

"holy though it seldom shows / you dance through the fire / eyes closed / breath in the flames with a smile / bathed in light

"when you awaken from the nightmare you are reborn / only death knows / how real your love is

"and to those who doubted your purity / you show compassion with no fear / the end is just the beginning /  so stretch those wings wide, bitch / ascend / no end

"eres sagrada aunque no lo puedan ver / bailando entre las llamas / sonriendo, respiras el fuego  / bañada en luz
"
y cuando despiertas de la pesadilla / solo la muerte sabe / lo real que es tu amor

"y a quienes dudaron de tu pureza / les muestras compasión, sin miedo / el fin es solo el comienzo / asi q abre bien esas alas, perra / asciende / sin fin"
