The music and video of Love Language explore the transformative aspects of life, reflected through nature. Seeing our reality through various lenses shaped by how we feel, the video's shifting colours accentuate this. The lyrics were written on a plane crossing Atlantic Canada, and inspired by emotional intelligence, self-care and destiny. Destiny is symbolized by images of making juice from oranges and apples; the destiny of food is to turn to compost, representing rebirth and transformation. Pastel pink, white, and blue waterfalls mirror one another, as we see ourselves in our relationships and in the tenderness of distant love.
Afterlife is a three-track EP created during Arca's School of Song Workshop in March 2026. Centring the voice and presence of Ingibjörg Guðmundsdóttir (1891–1994) — Tyr Jami's Icelandic great-grandmother — more fully than ever before. Here, Ingibjörg is the featured artist.
Built from cello, voice, cassette samples, distorted bass, and electronic processing, the EP moves through heavy, fuzzed-out soundscapes threaded with tarot card shuffling and the weight of things ending and returning. On Full and Empty — invoking the symbolism of the Ace of Cups, the yin and the yang — a repeated phrase becomes a mantra: what comes back is meant to be. It is a statement about loss, cycles, and Ingibjörg herself: her comeback, her afterlife.
To strengthen her is to receive her strength in return.
Morphic Subduction, an electro-acoustic cross between contemporary music, ambient and experimental electronics. "We are effectively plunged into a moving, transmorphic maelstrom of acoustic sounds textured by digital manipulation. The sound of the cello becomes a malleable material that organically redistributes itself across an unsuspected spectrum of timbral possibilities.
Intriguing and impressive."-PAN M 360
