Where this album fits

Career context
By the time 'Arca' was released in 2017, Arca had established themselves as a prominent figure in experimental music, following their collaboration with Björk on 'Vulnicura' and 'Utopia'. This self-titled album marked a significant artistic pivot, showcasing Arca's deeply personal reflections and sonic experimentation after their previous work, 'Xen', which laid foundational elements for their signature style.
