Arca

Arca is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Richard Wagner, Wendy Carlos, Madonna, Sega Bodega and Rosalía. Those roots explain a lot about how Arca arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as SAFETY TRANCE, Shygirl, Sega Bodega, Ana Roxanne and Perfume Genius, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Charli XCX, Klein, Silent Planet, Kitten and Crystal Murray, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 33 connections around Arca, reaching back through Richard Wagner and forward to Charli XCX. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
