Arca announces kick iiii album with new Planningtorock collaboration "Queer"
Arca has announced another new album today titled kick iiii, and has released a track titled "Queer" featuring Planningtorock to accompany the announcement.
News of Arca's fourth kick album comes just over a week after announcing KicK iii, and she's unveiled new Planningtorock collaboration "Queer" to coincide with the news.
kick iiii is set for release on the same day as her upcoming KicK iii and KICK ii albums, and will feature appearances from Oliver Coates, No Bra and Shirley Manson.
Arca wrote of the new album, "kick iiii is an entry of sensual charge in the cycle; my own faith made into song, a posthuman celestial sparkle, psychosexual pulsewidth modulation, queering the void, abyss alchemically transmuted into a deconstruction of what is beautiful, it is a healing spell, recognition of the alien inside, a bursting apart of old skin, fresh new sinew rippling outward from a beating core, the first prenatal kick—proof that there is a sentience with a will beyond its creators’ control expressing itself from within the womb."
