Arkells Release Reckoning
Arkells have a little reckoning for us all!
Canada’s hardest working band has released their next single, ‘Reckoning,’ from their forthcoming album, Blink Twice. Slated for release in 2022, we can’t believe fans will be getting another album so soon. A companion to their recently JUNO nominated Blink Once, the first single feels a lot like a continuation of sound. The world could definitely use another anthem.
“If you listen to the outro track of Blink Once, ‘Last Night I Heard ‘Em Sing,’ we hint that there’s more coming,” bandleader Max Kerman said in a release. “[It’s] kind of like a post-credits scene in a movie. ‘Reckoning‘ is the beginning of what’s next.”
The song is about privileged people who bury their heads in the sand. It’s also about the admiration for those who lead by example, and want justice for people beyond their own kin. We wanted the song to be big and cinematic — something that felt like walking through the streets at night time. We were inspired by everything from Justice to Run the Jewels. At this point in our career as musicians, we only wanna go where inspiration takes us. – Max Kerman
