Arca announces gory new album
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 24 February 2017
Arca will release his new album – ‘Arca’ – on 7 Apr, it has been announced. He’ll also play London’s Roundhouse later the same month.

The album release will be followed by Arca’s biggest headline show to date, at the Roundhouse in Camden on 28 Apr. Tickets for that are available now.
