01Background and release
On 18 February 2020, Arca announced she would be premiering new music alongside posting a cryptic video to her social media accounts. The mix premiered at 6pm GMT on NTS Radio. Shortly after, a visual directed by Frederik Heyman accompanying all 62 minutes of the mix was uploaded to Arca's YouTube channel. Tour dates were also announced the same day. "@@@@@" was officially released on 21 February 2020 and a tracklist was also revealed via Arca's social media. In an accompanying statement, Arca said that the track is "a transmission broadcasted into this world from a speculative fictional universe in which the fundamentally analogue format of FM pirate radio remains one of few means to escape authoritarian surveillance powered by a hostage sentience gestated by a post-singularity AI." The single was mastered by Enyang Urbiks in Berlin.
