Yours have been the best Arca reactions hands down! The way you interpreted it all is just spot on and shows a lot understanding, intelligence and openness. There are also some deluxe tracks that are very interesting like Cayo and Sentient Savior, you can listen to them in the 2022 summary compilation "Kick". Oh! and whenever you want check out some of her music videos, they are great! Really hope you will react to more of her stuff, but don't feel pressured to do so. Here's a silly little guide: Madre Ep (2021) is just gorgeous and open, a beutiful single, its plucked viola rendition, the acapella version and the instrumental of the viola version. @@@@@ (2020) is very demanding but fun due to its very strong and noisy sounds, the same could be said for Mutant (2015), which has some incredible sound experimentations, and the mixtape Entranas; Xen ????? edition (2015) is just "scorny", horny and scary (to quote Caroline Polachek), but also really beautiful; the two stretch EPs (2014) are just an insane fusion of hiphop sounds and experimental electronics with crazy twists and turns. &&&&& (2013) is very spacey and ethereal and also a masterclass in sound design; I would also advise you to check out some Bjork stuff, she was the one who truly believed in Arca's talent and let her flourish! Arca also produced the entirety of her 2017 album "Utopia" and some tracks on "Vulnicura" (2015) sorry if there's any broken english here and there 😅
My kick albums ranking is: 1. Kick iii 2. Kick i 3. Kick ii 4. Kick iiiii 5. Kick iiii And my favourite non-kick projects of hers are Entrañas and @@@@@. Love Mutant too!
love your reactions! now we need stretch 1, stretch 2 and &&&&&, all of which are early arca and much more hip hop inspired and what really got people to know her, including kanye and fka twigs! reactions to xen, mutant and @@@@@, arca at her most experimental (which are my favorites), would be really cool too :)
I loved this series! Loved your thoughts and analysis the whole way My Kick rankings I think is KICK ii (2) KicK iii (3) kiCK iiiii (5) KiCk i (1) kick iiii (4)
best arca reactions PERIOD. would love to see more arca reactions from u from her earlier stuff like mutant xen or maybe some of her mixtapes like @@@@@ etc anyways love u and this series ending is sooooo bittersweet thank u for doing this ❤️
Great reaction! Probably the best breakdown of the kick series that I've seen. If you're going to check out any more of her earlier work I'd definitely recommend Mutant. One of her absolute best albums in my opinion, second only to Kick iii and her self-titled album
