Arkells – My Heart’s Always Yours (Official Music Video)

Since releasing their fourth album Morning Report a few months back, Hamilton indie rock all-stars Arkells have been busy touring and promoting the record. From the release is the throwback-lovesong “My Heart’s Always Yours”. The slow-burning, ’80s-esque tune needed to find the right fit for the music video. The band turned to Alyssa Pankiw of the interactive media production company The Young Astronauts, as frontman Max Kerman explains:
“Making a video for a romantic song is hard. If you’re not careful it’ll quickly turn in to the trailer for A Walk to Remember. We loved Ally’s previous work, and when she pitched a treatment that was more abstract and less on the nose, we were immediately drawn to the idea. There’s a visceral experience about being in an art gallery that I really enjoy. A lot of great art doesn’t serve it right up to you – you have to patiently take it in and then unpack your feelings. That’s what the video offers – it gives me the feels without any trite nods to romantic nostalgia”.
