Alejandro Ghersi has more synapse-flexing tracks up his sleeve.

Arca has dropped a deluxe version of his astonishing debut album Xen, adding two bonus sections previously only available on the sold-out vinyl.

Xen (????? Edition) adds the logically titled ‘????? A’ and ‘????? B’, with the former featuring ‘Empath’, ‘Get Out The Fucking Car’, ‘Snatch’ and ‘Vanity’ and the latter offering the spectacularly named ‘Dog Crying At Its Owner’s Grave’. The deluxe edition also includes Jesse Kanda’s eye-popping videos for ‘Xen’ and ‘Thievery’.

In addition, the Venezuelan producer has lined up a handful of dates in the US and Europe, starting with a show at New York’s Bowery Ballroom on April 8 and including gigs at Berghain and Sonar before an appearance at Manchester International Festival on July 4 (the day before Björk’s show).

As well has having a hand in Bjork’s new album Vulnicura, Arca is also behind the first track in ages from Fade To Mind singer Kelela, which appeared earlier this week.
