Ode to Shooting Stars: Arkells - "Agent Zero"


"I used to find a little peace in the layup line..."

Whattya think-- is Gilbert the most overpaid inspiration for a song, ever? On their new album Michigan Left, Ontario's Arkells austerely render "Agent Zero" for posterity. The track limns Arenas' tale from its almost mythic single-parent, barnstorming beginnings to a state of reminiscence too soon arrived, as the stellar realization of dreams fades to a distant apex in the rear view.
