In another busy October, it would be easy for us to miss the One Year Anniversary of our album "Octoberland"... but today is that day. Pairs very nicely with the Halloween collection "Chilling, Thrilling Hooks and Haunted Harmonies" from Big Stir Records:

"Full-On Witch Mode", our new single, out Friday.

"We can decide what kind of beings that we want to be
We can let our focus determine our reality
And when the world won't align with what we want to see
We go Full-On Witch Mode."

Happy Halloween from The Armoires!

It's the Autumnal Equinox, and DJs are already playing the forthcoming single by The Armoires off of advance copies of "Chilling, Thrilling Hooks and Haunted Harmonies," so we'd do well to announce it!
"Full-On Witch Mode" is out as a digital single on October 10 everywhere.

New review for"Octoberland" via Switzerland's Track Musikmagazin:
"'Music & Animals'... is meant to remind us of the little joys in life... Life-affirming, hate-reducing and profound." That really means a lot to us right now.

Meanwhile in LA, it's our second favorite time of year.

Our love for the seasonal flowering of the Jacaranda trees is at the heart of the witchy proceedings in the lyrics to "Sickening Thud" from our album "Octoberland".

Two from The Pengwins, two from The Armoires and one superstar DJ: Lannie Flowers, Mike Lidskin, Christina Bulbenko, John Borack and Danny Wilkerson together after 20/20's triumphant live show in LA last week (with Lannie and Danny opening, joined by Chris Price and Mr. Borack, too).

Album exchange before 20/20's amazing show at Zebulon last night: Steve Allen and Ron Flynt of 20/20 with The Armoires' "Octoberland", and Rex Broome, Christina Bulbenko and John Borack of The Armoires with a freshly signed copy of 20/20's new record "Back To California". Amazing set from 20/20!

What's next for The Armoires? The followup to "Octoberland" will arrive in its own time, but we can promise two new tracks, both on very special collections, before the end of the year (top secret for now)! And... the live debut of the new material? Maybe this Autumn. Time will tell...

Today's April 11, six calendar months since October 11 and thus half a year since "Octoberland" was released. It's always tough to let an album go once it's out there in the wild, and we really "committed to the bit" on this one... we'll miss living in that world, but there is always more to come!

And now, a reset to where The Armoires are today: "Octoberland". Not so much a setting as a destination, a place defined by hope, empathy, collaboration... looks like we still have a way to go, but there's still comfort for the journey in these grooves. Visit us when you can!

One more nod to the 4th Anniversary of The Armoires' third album "Incognito": "Great Distances" was the only Official Video from the record, and the song points the way forward to the souand/vibes of "Octoberland". If you're heading backwards into our discography, start here!

April Fool's Day is the 4-year anniversary of The Armoires' third album "Incognito". The release date was super deliberate: it was the payoff to a months-long masquerade of singles released under fake band names. The story is out there, and you can hear or buy "Incognito" at:
