Xen (Vinyl LP)

Arca sparks a deeply emotional response through decoded combinations of electronic sound. Technically, it brings to mind Brian Eno's work with Microsoft in the early 90s, only instead of creating a six-second corporate jingle designed to be "optimistic, sentimental and inspirational" etc., Arca spins an impassioned tapestry through a series of personalities that weave and scratch their way through the mix. The trick is being able to achieve this both with and without vocals, and by producing a combination of frequencies that push any desired futuristic mood to the outermost limits. Arca accomplishes this effortlessly; she was, after all, chosen to co-produce four tracks on 'Yeezus', not to mention her gig alongside Holly Herndon in support of Atoms For Peace - such opportunities came on the back of just two EPs and a mixtape for DIS, without even the slightest hint of a full-length album in the pipeline

Our Grading Standards
We grade all vinyl using the Goldmine standard:
Mint (M): Perfect, unplayed condition.
Near Mint (NM): Nearly perfect with minimal signs of handling.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows light signs of play but plays with minimal surface noise. The most common grade for collectable vinyl.
Very Good (VG): Noticeable marks and some surface noise, but still an enjoyable listen.
Good (G): Heavy wear — for collectors only.

All records are graded visually and by play. Media and sleeve are graded separately.
