Stretch 2 is an extended play by Venezuelan producer Arca. It was released on 6 August 2012 by UNO NYC, following its predecessor Stretch 1 in April. Primarily an electronic hip-hop album, Stretch 2 features avant-garde time signatures, warped pitches, and "a kind of post-millennial take on trip-hop with a debt to Aphex Twin", as well as influences from gangsta rap, garage, and new age.
An interesting electronic album with strange sounds and modulated voices and raps. Too disruptive to be compared to EDM, more a mixture between industrial, electronic and rap. A grandchild of Love's Secret Domain by Coil.

Rating: 8/10 Best songs: Maiden voyage, Brokeup, Manners
What an album should be. 10 or so interesting concepts none of which outstay their welcome. Experimental without being annoying or convinced of its own 'genius'
Some much-needed experimental electronica for the list – not as demanding as some other Arca LPs I've listened to, much more rhythmic and twisting which I found enjoyable. Could've used a stronger melodic component, but still a cool LP at the end of the day.
Beep boop wubba
Interesting. At first thought I’d be annoyed, but mostly wasn’t. Worth the listen.
I quite like this and have put it under 'Experimental/Ambient'. I don't think it's the best there is or particularly worthy though and not sure why the person who put this forward loves it so much.
Special. Cool hiphop vibes, but much more electronic. Something I would never listen to myself, but it was enjoyable
Wonky
Interesting noise and effects orchestrated into sound.
This album has some interesting moments here and there. It's little stylistically chaotic though, like it's the beginning of a good idea that doesn't quite get there. Fave Songs: Manners, Self Defense, Fortune
The audiophollic version of that table in art class where kids threw all their stuff with no regard to cleanliness of any kind. 2 But with a naked person lying on it Very inappropriate. Very distasteful. But hey its something Ending is good
Really not for me. Just seemed like gloopy over-processed vocals over tuneless beats.
Electronic hip hop, trip hop. No me ha gustado. Un 2.
Album cover looks like an early-stage embryo. I don't know what the rest of the shit around it could possibly mean. My guess is something electronic. Ok yeah electronic. And pointlessly so. I have no idea what the aim of this is, the intended audience, whether it achieved what it set out to, etc. This is a collection of weird beats. I'm struggling to think the context it could be used in. Video games? Nope. A club? Doubt it. Fitness classes? No. I can only assume this has a very small, niche audience, that rates it based on criteria no one else would ever attach to music. Anyway, it's almost over now, because it only goes for 25min, and I'm no wiser to what's happening. At least the music was just as confusing as the cover art, I guess. 2/5.
This is the kind of music that blows out speakers.
This has to be a troll and if it’s not I’m sorry but u just don’t understand this music at all. A couple of the songs have an ambient trip hop vibe to them but the rest of it was just annoying
Not sure what this is doing here.
This was a pretty odd electronic album as it had a bunch of mashed up sounds put together for some songs. This is the type of electronic music that I have trouble enjoying. Overly produced music doesn’t feel natural rhythmically and without drugs it’s hard to see the vision. Not for me. 2.7/10
Well Stretch 2 is awful, only redeeming feature is that it's over inside half an hour, but what there is is crap. 1/5.
