About “Arca”

Arca is the self-titled third album by Arca, released in 2017 via XL Recordings.

As stated by Arca herself in an interview for i-D with the photographer Wolfgang Tillmans, her most recent record is an attempt to make something beautiful from the pain and sadness she sees in the world.

“If there’s a sadness running through your life,” Arca explained, “you must attempt to tune yourself into a frequency where you harmonise with it because it’s never going to leave you.” Arca understands that grief which can’t be cast out must be harnessed and tamed.

The album was originally called “Reverie” via Instagram. Track 5 is also called “Reverie”.
