Armlock

Australian duo Armlock—Simon Lam (vocals, guitar) and Hamish Mitchell (guitar, keyboards)—return with Amazing on February 5, 2027 via Run For Cover Records. Following 2024’s Seashell Angel Lucky Charm, the 10-track album is their longest release yet and further refines their spare, melodic approach to indie rock.

Recorded between the two members’ studios, Amazing combines clear guitar lines, tight, understated beats, warm vocals and unusual electronic production details. Its sound recalls the lean alternative rock of Pinback and the more adventurous side of Alex G. Lam’s lyrics look at the uncertainty of growing older, building a future and holding onto the things that matter.

The album opens with the newly released “Lifer,” a deliberately direct song about finding confidence in another person and moving forward together. Previously released singles “Half Time” and “Strobe” also appear on the record. Lam says the band wanted the album to feel like “a culmination of this era of the band.”
