Kick IIII

"Arca's ambitious musical cycle concludes with four albums spanning reggaeton, club experiments, and tender synth lullabies. It's a slippery, unwieldy, mind-bending collection of sound design that drives home the ur-theme of all her music: transformation ... kick iiii contains some of the most contemplative songs in the series".

"Boquifloja sets Arca's voice over a downtuned guitar riff that feels faintly grungy: its chorus is simultaneously beautiful and unnerving, the music slurring in and out of tune, the vocals glitching and stammering. Xenomorphgirl takes another familiar sound, Auto-Tuned sprechgesang vocals, and maroons them in an alien electronic landscape that keeps shifting from calming to threatening. Queer feels like pop music dreamed up by a science-fiction author to set the scene in a future world: the message of Planningtorock's vocal is strident - "Queer power! Queer power!" - but the sound is both epic and decayed: it sounds like everything was recorded with the needles in the red, the beats very occasionally slipping out of time".
