Armlock - Trust on Vinyl

Description

With their first release as Armlock, the duo maintains the depths of Hamish Mitchells' electronic soundscapes but brings the warmth of analogue instruments with Simon Lam 's clear, disillusioned singing up front. He sounds both heartfelt and dejected in equal measure, with a dispassionate coolness that synergizes with the vulnerability of his lyrics. Live, the duo are backed by a reel-to-reel tape, with Mitchell on guitar and Lam singing, bridging their electronic past and indie present.
