Arca creates eerie prayerwave with "Covenant"

This track and the debut EP it came from, "Baron Libre" by Arca have already been covered elsewhere (Fader specifically). But upon repeat listening, I felt too affected by these eerie glitch/prayer sounds to not continue talking about it. The opening layering is simple, some bright synth over a women's choir, but it's deep enough to give chills, before getting a little glitchy. Then the freaky layered vocals hit and everything builds somberly. This is what I would call the standout on the EP, which on the whole is a unique, solidly put together experience.

Download the whole damn "Baron Libre" thing here from UNO NYC. And mess around with the awesome page-design while you wait.
