Alejandro Ghersi is pretty much Chairman of the Board for the experimental beat scene right now, so yesterday's news of a new Arca album, Reverie, is certainly cause for excitement. The Venezuelan-born producer shared a teaser clip on his Instagram, just a lonesome, wordless vocal melody floating over an eerie ringing sound, accompanied by an image of an orchid. No release date on the follow-up to last year's Mutant just yet, but judging by his caption, it shouldn't be too long. Check out the clip below.

I received my degree in English from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, and Virginia is still home. Apart from my yearly pilgrimage to Moogfest and occasional shows in DC, Detroit, and New York, I like to stick to the fringes, with an eye always open toward music that is forward-thinking and unique, whatever the genre.
