- It's the title track off her "maxi-single" on XL Recordings.
Arca has a new release on XL Recordings called Madre.
Out today, the four-track "maxi-single" centers around the nine-minute title track, which features RVNG Intl.-affiliated cellist and composer Oliver Coates.
"I wrote Madre years ago, and I did Madreviolo playing the cello myself, before working with Oliver," Arca said in a statement. "After recording Madreviolo, I destroyed the cello I bought specifically for this. It had to be like a one-time thing for the version where I pitched up my vocal to castrati registers. But the original version with my unprocessed vocals, which felt a necessary version to share alongside Madreviolo needed an arrangement that I could envision but couldn't hear. When I shared the acapella version with Oliver there was an insane resonance and chemistry; where he took it felt like the place I dreamed of but couldn't reach without him."
