Arca releases 'XXXXX', her first full-length album in five years and a dense new chapter following the five-part 'KICK' series. Across sixteen tracks, the Venezuelan producer and vocalist pulls classical composition, deconstructed club music, footwork, distorted pop and bodily electronic rhythm into unstable combinations.
Songs including 'Raver', 'Fxck', 'Futurality', 'Everything' and 'Sueño' move between raw emotion and posthuman transformation without waiting for one form to finish before another begins. The album feels physical even at its most abstract, less like music describing a machine than a machine discovering nerves. 'XXXXX' is demanding, excessive and deliberately difficult to contain. The title may resemble a password rejected for inadequate security, but the music itself appears capable of gaining access to every system in the building. Discover more experimental electronic music.
