Arca - kiCK iiiii ALBUM REVIEW
kiCK iiiii concludes Arca Week on a very luscious note.
Okay, after hearing the major differences between KicK iii and iiii, I honestly had no idea what to expect for the final entry in the KiCK series, and boy was I wrong. This is essentially a modern classical album done by an electronic music producer. It’s certainly something I’ve never heard of, but it’s a welcome one. Like the last one, there’s a lot of ambient references too. Arcambient? Let’s go with that. It’s mainly instrumental pieces, and I honestly don’t know how else to explain it. It acts as a very fitting conclusion and a very fitting end to an ambitious project.
Conclusion: On the day of the final album’s release, Arca put out a statement about the release of the series. Part of it read ‘For me it is a cycle, like most phenomena in the universe. A prenatal KiCk is the first undeniable evidence that there exists an individual with an expression distinct from one’s mother and father. through this kick, this gesture of will, emerges proof of the individual spirit.’ As a series, KICK will most likely go down as one of the most ambitious projects of this decade. Arca has delivered a stunning display of creativity that will most likely never be matched for a long time.
KICK ii: 6/10
KicK iii: 10/10
kick iiii: 9/10
kiCK iiiii: 8/10
