Arkells Release New Single “Reckoning”

Following the release of their most recent studio album, Blink Once, “Reckoning” emerges to kick off 2022, while teasing a new album, Blink Twice, due later this year.

As Arkells stayed busy making music during the last two years, they always knew they would come out of the pandemic with two distinct records. In a press release, frontman Max Kerman said “The title of Blink Once was born from the song “Reckoning,” and lyrics “blink twice, there’s gonna be a reckoning. If you listen to the outro track of Blink Once – “Last Night I Heard Em’ Sing” – we hint that there’s more coming. Kind of like a post-credits scene in a movie. “Reckoning” is the beginning of what’s next.”

Max continues, ““Reckoning” 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. We wanted the song to be big and cinematic – something that felt like walking through the streets at night time. We were inspired by everyone from Justice to Run The Jewels and at this point we only wanna go where inspiration takes us.”
