‘Incendio,’ a current hit by the Venezuelan musician residing in Barcelona, is featured on her sixth album. The album’s first single, ‘Electra Rex,’ was released yesterday (November 9), and it comes with a music video produced by Carlota Guerrero.
In a statement on ‘KicK iii’ and ‘Electra Rex’, Arca explains:
“For me KicK iii is the most incendiary entry in the kick universe. The album is a portal directly into the more manic, violently euphoric and aggressively psychedelic sound palettes in the series.
“Electra Rex is a new archetype I propose in reference to commonly understood ideas of Freud regarding the oedipal complex- Oedipus Rex kills the father and unknowingly making love to the mother. Electra complex posits the binary opposite: killing the mother and unknowingly making love to the father.
“And so I am the first to propose a nonbinary psychosexual narrative to avoid falling into the same generational tragic blind spots. Electra Rex, a merging of both names, an integration of both Oedipus Rex and Electra: Electra Rex it kills both parents and has sex with itself, and chooses to live. “

Arca released ‘Prada/Rakata’ last week, which is described as “the coalescence of KicK via a music visual, a continuation of her work with artist Frederik Heyman that introduces an ambitious act of musical world-building that reveals Arca’s many identities as an artist in a quantum superstate,” according to press materials.
