Run For Cover Records reissues the up-and-coming Australian indie rock duo of Simon Lam and Hamish Mitchell, Armlock’s debut album, ‘Trust’. Upcoming UK/EU tour dates.

The reissue arrives on the heels of Armlock‘s 2024 new album, ‘Seashell Angel Lucky Charm’, now listeners can return to first release and hear how the band arrived fully-formed with a unique sound that’s as immersive as it is inviting. Longtime friends and collaborators, Lam (vocals and guitar) and Mitchell (guitar and keyboards) met studying jazz at Monash University in Melbourne, eventually discovering a shared love of electronic music. After a handful of electronic and dance-oriented projects (I’lls, Couture, Kllo) Armlock began in earnest and the two musicians began incorporating guitar into the songs they were making for the first time. ‘Trust’ was released in 2021 and laid the groundwork for their imaginative and sonically rich sound, at times recalling Pinback’s lean alternative, Alex G’s adventurous indie, or the wave of mysterious-yet-endearing genre-bending music coming out of the UK from label’s like Dean Blunt’s World Music or Vegyn’s PLZ Make It Ruins. Band’s second album introduced the broader indie world to the group and the ‘Trust’ reissue is the perfect way to familiarize yourself with their earlier work ahead of their upcoming UK and European tour dates.
