Arca’s second studio album, Mutant, is out today, and with it comes a striking new video for the track “Front Load.” The Venezuelan producer continues her creative collaboration with long-time friend and visual artist Jesse Kanda, who also directed the provocative visuals for last week’s “Vanity.”
As expected from the duo, the “Front Load” video is surreal, intense, and unfiltered—drifting in and out of focus, revealing flashes of skin, genital forms (hi penis), and pubic hair in a dreamlike, disorienting sequence. Is it experimental porn or a weird take on anatomy ? Not sure. It’s bold, bizarre, and undeniably them. Welcome to the art world of Arca and Jesse Kanda.
“Front Load” is the 12th track on Mutant, which spans 20 songs in total. With this release, Arca steps further into the light. While her debut album Xen explored her inner world and hidden emotions, Mutant reveals what she’s ready to show on the outside—confident, unafraid, and fully exposed.
