Info for Between Us

9X JUNO Award winners Arkells releases today a brand new album "Between Us". Produced and recorded in LA with Grammy Award Winner John Congleton (St. Vincent, Death Cab for Cutie, Wallows), the forthcoming album features the new single “Next Summer” released today, paired alongside an illusory performance video. Its instantly hummable chorus nods to a modern The Killers meets Gaslight Anthem singalong.

“Next Summer” is the anthem that finds comfort with the uncertainty of the future. “When someone new enters your life, do you ever wonder, ‘what did last summer look like for this person? And for me? And what will next summer look like?’” questions frontman, Max Kerman. “This song is a nod to the beauty and the mystery of what might lay ahead, and an appreciation of how we got to today. There’s a longing in the song, but it’s hopeful.”

A select group of fans were treated to an early preview of “Next Summer,” as well as new album details earlier this week, when Arkells took over The Big Chill ice cream shop in Toronto, serving up the essence of summer, in the peak of winter.

“Next Summer” arrives on the heels of their latest single, “Money” (featuring Portugal. The Man) and the punchy tune “What Good?,” as the band’s first taste of new music from this Between Us era. Arkells new album includes additional features from GROUPLOVE and Poolside, on the 11-track collection.

Arkells
Whether they’re rocking stadiums, making a beeline for the discotheque, or gathering around the campfire, the implicit message of Arkells is always the same: everyone is welcome here. Since the beginning, Arkells have never wavered in their mission to be the house band that soundtracks the greatest nights of your life and provides emotional support in your darkest hours. And that communal spirit is reflected in an ever-evolving sound that hits all the perennial pleasure points—fusing the anthemic power of alt-rock, the pulpit-shaking passion of vintage soul, the off-the-cuff intimacy of singer-songwriter music, the urbane edge of 21st-century indie, and the futurist aesthetics of modern R&B. Thanks to that eclectic ethos, Arkells have continued to evolve, while making everyone feel right at home. As one of the most heavily rotated acts on radio, and all-time record holders of the JUNO Award for “Group of the Year,” Arkells have extended their reach beyond borders by infiltrating all corners of pop culture; from global sports telecasts and top-tier video games to the stages of Coachella and Bonnaroo. But the band’s longevity is ultimately a function of their commitment to never coasting on past glories and to always live completely in the moment. Even through their impressive history together, Arkells still approach every gig as an opportunity to prove themselves to the unconverted; as they’re fond of saying, each time they take the stage, “we understand the assignment.” The first rule of rock ‘n’ roll is to play every show like it’s your last—but as Arkells prove night after night, it’s just as important to hold onto the unbridled energy and enthusiasm of your first.
