Markles by The Arches

🎵 MARKLES – The Arches’ new single 🎵
Markles is a handcrafted anthem of curiosity, comfort, and chaos—just like the little knit versions of us on stage.

This one means a lot.
Kirk was the only person who ever called me “Markles.” It stuck in a way nothing else ever did—casual, warm, a little weird, and entirely full of love. This song is for him.

We recorded Markles using several of Kirk’s guitars. His sound, his soul, and his sense of play are all stitched into this track. It’s our way of keeping him close—one note at a time. It’s weird, warm, and full of heart—just like he was.

Born out of a late-night jam and a half-finished pot of coffee, this track stitches together warm grooves, analog textures, and a vibe that is a
bit nostalgic, a little oddball, and totally us.

Featuring Shirley the Robot on light control duty and a full lineup of yarn-crafted soulmates, Markles reminds you that you don’t need to match to make music that matters.

Thanks for listening—and for remembering Kirk with us.

The Arches are a Minneapolis band spreading love and kindness around the world with music. Our songs are simple sketches of studio performances.
