kiCK iiiii

Arca

A serene and skeletal conclusion to the Kick cycle. Sparse piano, liquid synths, and ethereal guest vocals create a digital sanctuary of profound quiet.

December 3, 2021 · XL Recordings

A profound, meditative stillness that feels like the quiet resolution after a long period of chaos.

Moments Worth Listening For
The arrival of Ryuichi Sakamoto's voice on Sanctuary, sounding like a transmission from a distant, peaceful planet.
The way the piano notes in Ether seem to hang in the air for seconds before dissolving into digital hiss.
The rhythmic, organic pulsing of Músculos that feels like a biological machine slowly waking up.
