The differences between the two already outlined are fine and totally valid.= Just thought it=E2=80=99s worth pointing out that a gender fluid queer iden= tifying person doing their thing, making it work and having great success wi= th it, is something a lot of people will find speaks to and inspires them as= much as a fucked up Ae track inspires most of us. We don=E2=80=99t really n= eed validating in society, but it=E2=80=99s of greater benefit and validatin= g to a lot of people that Arca seems to represent/appeal to. Also worth noti= ng that the way Arca presents himself is part of the art he produces along w= ith the music. It just so happens that I can=E2=80=99t particularly get into Arca=E2=80=99s= stuff, either. Nice textures and sketches as Clint said. Just not really mo= i. Not meaning to lecture anyone on this, just worth pointing out and noting as= I said.
