Arca – Arca

Vinyl LP standard Jacket

“Intelligent, impassioned and inspired by integrity, Arca’s continued growth as an artist promises to be one of the most exciting journeys of the coming years. Previous work has incorporated snatches of song and Arca’s rapping, but on Arca, the musician’s voice is front-and-centre on eight of the album’s 13 tracks. Frequently, Arca has used first-takes, untreated and without post-production: clicks of saliva and burrs of the throat carry melodies of staggering richness and delicacy. Arca has made some of most brazenly forward-thinking music of recent years, both on previous solo albums Xen (2014) and Mutant (2015), and in collaboration with fellow futurists Björk Vulnicura, Kanye West Yeezus, and fashion collective Hood By Air.
