Armies is a pop/rock duet and band hailing from Portland, Maine, led by songwriter, producer, guitarist and vocalist Dave Gutter and vocalist/songwriter Anna Lombard. Armies’ debut album was ranked as one of Rolling Stone Magazine’s “Top 15 Great Albums You Didn’t Hear in 2015” last December, just three months following it’s release. Fusing pop, rock, blues, and electronic music with intricate and spell-binding male/female duet vocals, Armies’ live show is a high energy mix of club beats, poignant songwriting with nuances of the blues. Today we’re excited to premiere their new live video for “The Shrink.” The black and white footage adds a great “vintage” feel to the performance, and the individual instruments really shine. It’s a fun watch and a fun listen!
 
In their own words:

“The Shrink musically, is a tense blues, hip hop track that is based on circular bass patterns and breakbeat style drums. The lyrics focus on the dynamics of a psychiatrist and patient in session discussing isolation and apathy. We shot and recorded this video live in the studio where we recorded Armies II.”
