Arkells have released a video for their new single Human Being, taken from their upcoming seventh album Blink Twice. The track features a guest appearance from Lights, who the band are touring with later this year.
“We wanted a chaotic energy – something like Talking Heads meets Billy Joel,” says frontman Max Kerman. “We are learning a lot about ourselves on this record. This song is about finding a truer version of yourself – the one you’ve hid in the past. The song is searching for a kind of freedom that conventional life paths have to offer. Once we had it in good shape we sent it to our friend Lights who is the best at writing about this kind of discovery.”
“To me, this song feels like an anthem for seeking out moments and people that can make you feel something,” adds Lights. “We all need a shake up and we all hate being stuck in a rut. We all, as humans, share commonalities and needs that bring us together.”
Blink Twice is due for release on 23rd September 2022 via Virgin Records/Universal Music Canada, available to pre-order HERE.
