Arca is releasing a new, self-titled, album on April 7 via XL. Previously he had shared its first single, “Piel.” Now here’s another song from the album, “Anoche,” via its haunting video. In it Arca (aka Alejandro Ghersi) sings and dances in a black room filled with nearly naked corpses. Longtime Arca collaborator Jesse Kanda directed the video, which you can watch below.

Arca is his third album and the first one where the Venezuela-born, London-based artist’s voice is front and center. He has also recently announced his biggest headlining show to date, at London’s Roundhouse on April 28.

Arca had this to say about the album in a previous press release: “Here’s my voice and all my guts: feel free to judge it. It’s like a bullfight: you’re watching emotional violence for pleasure. So this is a character who, almost as a mockery of the transaction, goes uncomfortably deep, into self-mutilation. ‘You want gore? Here’s gore’”
