Armlock Share New Single/Video "Strobe"

Spring UK/EU Tour Starts Next Week

Armlock, the up-and-coming Australian indie rock duo of Simon Lam and Hamish Mitchell, released their latest album, Seashell Angel Lucky Charm, in 2024 and drew attention from the likes of Stereogum, The FADER, BrooklynVegan, FLOOD Magazine, Paste Magazine, Bandcamp Daily, and more. Today the band are back with a new single "Strobe."

"Strobe" highlights Armlock's uniquely minimalist approach to deeply immersive and hooky music. With only a few layers of instruments and a vulnerably unvarnished vocal, the band provide a huge musical and emotional payoff.

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. Their debut 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. Armlock's second album Seashell Angel Lucky Charm introduced the group to the broader indie world and now "Strobe" continues their hot streak.
