ARMLOCK ‘Seashell Angel Lucky Charm’ ALBUM TOUR
Eagerly recommend this beautiful new release from Armlock.
The production is masterful and bright, the vocals are evocative and sombre.
For fans of Alex G, Clairo, Slow Pulp, Feeble Little Horse.
Listen “Fear” or “Guardian” and feel nostalgic about love.
Listen to “Godsend” or “Fair” if you just feel like crying.
Catch Armlock at one of these shows this month!
