"How cruising, graveyards and swan songs inspired Arca's new album Read more With its eerie silences, foreboding chords and hymnal chanting, Arca's third record really does manage to erect a sonic cathedral around your ears. This ceaselessly pioneering producer - who has brought his bleeding-edge sensibility to the work of Björk, Kanye, FKA twigs, Frank Ocean and Dean Blunt - takes ecclesiastical tropes and ingests them into his warped, dissonant and giddily contemporary world".

"As always, Ghersi pushes his boundaries on Arca, and the vulnerability he displays makes it some of his most exciting and moving music yet".

"At this point, it is not an exaggeration to suggest that Arca is one of the most vital and consequential voices in electronic music this generation has seen ... His style is immediately recognizable, inimitable, and fundamentally self-possessed, bearing little debt to his predecessors. When one attempts to grasp, identify, and thus fix in place his music, it always squirms away ... and the resulting album is both emotionally enrapturing and conceptually thrilling".

"Venezuelaneren præsterer sit mest sammensatte og eventyrlystne album, på én gang forkrøblet og fuldt udfoldet. Nogle elegier befinder sig helt inden for de gængse skønhedsnormer, konventionelt rørende i al deres patos. Hør for eksempel »Sin Rumbo« og »Coraje«. Men sammenbruddenes, fejlenes, støjens himmeriger udforskes andre steder: Digitale lydorganer kollapser - for så at rejse sig i epileptiske anfald. Hitechdyr speeder op og pisker med halerne. Der er luftsirener som klangbund. Et klaver sejler i frit rum og strygere lyder, som om de er bygget af aircondition. Akustiske instrumenter morfer til behandlede entiteter, programmerede væsener mimer virkelighedens lyde. Arca er begyndt at synge på opfordring af sin tidligere samarbejdspartner Björk, og han har en smuk, fyldig tenor med en del forræderisk skarptslebne kanter. Sjæl med ondt i halsen. Nogle gange i højtravende englemultitunger ... Musikalsk er vi oppe i nærheden af Aphex Twin-klassen, når det kommer til atforenemelodisk skønhed med sammenbrudsideologi".
