Armlock - Trust [Gray/Black]

Armlock's debut album Trust made waves on it's original release in 2021, offering a peak into the sonic landscape that the Australian duo of Simon Lam and Hamish Mitchell were building together.

A collection of intimate, lush sounds that feel both hauntingly personal and infinitely deep, Trust's seven songs are now available for worldwide release on Run For Cover Records. Armlock's music is immediately striking. Even before you press play, Trust's haunting artwork - a flash photo closeup of an eyeball feels like it conveys the message of these songs perfectly: armlock is staring into your soul. Simon Lam's vocals are errantly mumbled melodies, placed directly in front of you at the center of these electronic dispatches that border the lines of indie rock and electronic music.

These songs feel expansive, emotional and considered in a way that make Alex G, Boards of Canada and Adrianne Lenker points of comparison. Featuring seven songs on the A-Side and an etched-back, Trust is a short but full collection of songs that lead perfectly into their 2024 follow-up Seashell Angel Lucky Charm, also available now on Run For Cover.
