Hamilton rock mainstays Arkells have shared their fifth and final single, “What’s On Your Mind,” featuring Poolside.
The track is lifted from their forthcoming eleventh album Between Us, set for release on April 17, 2026 via Universal Music Canada and Virgin Music Group.
Leaning into a bright, disco-tinged groove, the song blends shimmering synths with the band’s signature indie pop-rock sensibilities, resulting in a catchy and feel-good anthem.
About the track by Max:
“We wanted a song that felt hypnotic—where the chords don’t move much, and the rhythm and melody do all the heavy lifting.
It’s my favourite thing about seeing dance music live: how it can loop and loop and loop, and the longer it goes, the better it feels.
We went deep into synth-world on this one.”
He continues, “we toured with Poolside and saw the power of repetition.
What restraint can offer to the crowd. The patience of building a song with the groove dictating everything.
The song was just about finished when we asked Poolside to add some shine to it all.
Our music has ended up in all kinds of places, and we hope this ends up on some dance floors.”
