# Download Arca’s ‘Manners’ **Arca** came seemingly out of nowhere earlier this year with the mind-melting *Stretch 1*EP, a strung-out collection of low ends, syrupy vibes and insectile vocals. Needless to say, we played the hell out of it (occasionally to the point of making people nauseous....it's amazing what a good subwoofer can do) and eagerly waited for more. The NYC producer is now gearing up for his upcoming physical debut Stretch 2, dropping August 6th via **UNO NYC**. 'Manners' is our first taste of the LP, and it lives up to its name. Subdued, repetitive percussion highlights the spaced-out synth stabs, and the denouement is a plucked and teased [kora][1]{: target="_blank"}....a bit of a side-step from '[Ass Swung Low][2]{: target="_blank"}', but engaging on an entirely new plane. *Arca -- Stretch 2* 1. Self Defense 2. Fortune 3. Maiden Voyage 4. 2 Blunted 5. Tapped In 6. Strung 7. Brokeup 8. Meditation 9.
