Arca's "pop" album. With much more vocals than in her previous efforts, as well as a quite wide range of features (Bjork and SOPHIE big yes), her weird-ass take on club music still shines through prominent basses and surreal synths. However, the balance between this newer, slower aesthetic and her previous headfucking shenanigans is not tip-top - sequencing being the main issue, the album seemingly not knowing when to alternate foot-stomping alien beats and ethereal tunes.

Riquiqui is awesome but on the whole it falls apart.

I normally don't like this kind of thing but I really enjoyed this, so it's probably pretty bad
within the genre. It's ok though, I can accept my pleb taste in avant-pop.

If you haven?t heard of Arca that is okay, you have more then likely heard her production somewhere. For example, she has produced for the likes of Kanye West, Bjork, Blood Orange, Frank Ocean, FKA Twigs, Kelela, and some other artists. However, Arca is much more than just a producer, her solo material as influenced the experimental, avant, and pop scene for years. Since her three EP?s in 2012 and now on her fourth LP, she has slowly gone through several pop genres. On her most recent album, though she is doing two big things. First, she is casting a wider net by making her music more accessible for the everyday lister/radio listener. She is also capturing everything she has ever done sonically and lyrically into one tight 36 minute full-length record. From start to finish you will be enthralled by the wonderful world of Arca. Right from the opening track you will know what it feels like to be an Arca listener. With all that said I love the idea of making a platter for new listeners to see what her music and style are like. However, this also leads to the album being a rather disjointed listening experience since she goes from deconstructed club to ambient pop relatively quickly. Also, the features she brings on more sound like her producing for those artists rather than making her own style with the artists (especially on the Bjork and Rosalia features). In general, this is still a great listen if you are new to her or an old-time fan looking for a good sample album, but it can be not enough for the fan looking for a true Arca project.

Very happy to have heard the amazing evolución of Arca manifest into this bombastic and colorful release. This record feels like a giant bitch slap.

I've always found Arca very impressive, and often very emotionally moving, but I've never wanted before to move as much physically listening to Arca. Fun, fun, fun.
