Arms & Armour is a collaboration between Lauren Voss (vocals, guitar, synth) and John Panza (acoustic and electronic drums, programming, synth). Celebrating their thirteenth year as Arms & Armour, the musically betrothed Lauren and John continue to expand Arms & Armour’s repertoire, challenging themselves with new technologies and new musical approaches. Recorded in their own Cleveland-based studio — Dark Current — using a combination of live recording, loops, and samples, The Winds EP represents the most recent iteration of the band’s sound, a movement building on Voss’s sincere vocals with, at times, crushing guitar and bombastic percussion reflecting the industrial setting of their studio home — a former drill bit factory — all filtered through the dark forests of their imagination.
