KicK iii is one of the most exciting and promising parts, simply because Arca seems absolutely transcendent.
Arca has formed an impressive body of work with the KICK series.
KicK iii may have the smallest range of any of the project's volumes, but its relentlessness is a key part of the anthology that provides lots of fascinating moments for those who love Arca at her most outlandish.

KicK iii is a more turbulent entry in the Arca universe: its relentless ability to generate movement out of stillness makes it one of her most accomplished works to date.
KicK iii ... largely succeeds because it further explores the aggressive moods at which “Prada” only pokes.

Nominees were picked based on a myriad of things, though the ... read more

This review is, and isn’t a joke. I listened to this pretty quietly when I first heard it.
Listening quietly with AirPods makes it just sound like “weird for the sake of it” reggaeton.
Blasting it in a car is like subjecting yourself to true artistic absurdity. The difference is insane. This is a project to be overwhelmed by.
day 2 of arca week.
way to blow my mind alejandra. i knew from the singles alone that this would be my favorite kick by far. and i was definitely correct in thinking that.
my favorite arca songs usually consist of a very abrasive sound design with her literally screaming and shouting absolute nonsense. and that’s what kick iii literally is.
lyrics like “ hissy fit throw it up bitch bounce back get it wet hit it rip it stroke t****y get me hard” & "hear me raw ... read more
