I was terribly dissapointed compared to his previous work. will revisit maybe I was really biased.

Listened to it twice, thought it was okay. Got the feeling it was an album that needed quite a few plays before hitting home.

All his previous stuff seemed more colorful, playful, and spontaneously inventive whereas this album is more hunched over IDM with a furrowed brow. I know I should listen more.

it's one of the most exciting things i heard last year, also my first experience with arca

for the love of ball you guys play this album more

your pal

ooze

I wasn't too impressed by it at first but lately have had some tracks from it stuck in my head so I listen to it now and it's good

His last.fm display pics are umm.. interesting.

lol

his live pics too

Yeah, what I gathered from his interviews, his alter-ego is "Xen", who's actually a woman, so I kind of understand why he's mixing genders when performing - you know, to get into a certain headspace.

Androgyny-wave. Music just got handed a whole new set of Pomeranians.

&&&&& is my favorite Arca musics I think that ones a masterpiece

What do you guys think of the new track, Vanity?

Sounds more or less the same as Xen.
