Limited Edition of 500 copies! The original Vinyl release from last year, on the tiny ‘Synthicide’ label. Synthicide is mainly a party, that has nurtured dark synth-driven music in Brooklyn, New York since January 2014. In 2017 they started to release music in physical (and digital) format, including acts such as Statiqbloom, Klack, Confines and others. The former label had NO distribution and the SACRED SKIN vinyl was available
through Bandcamp ONLY – It will now be available for the first time ever in regular distribution!
In the US and Canada there’s a BIG buzz about them and many (including the undersigned!) predict a bright future for this outstanding Electro/New Wave act! The CD includes loads of bonus tracks, including remixes by Nuovo Testamento, Drab Majesty, Kontravoid, MVTANT…!
Los Angeles-based duo Brian DaMert and Brian Tarney explore the vastness of spellbinding, anthemic pop music under the name Sacred Skin. The New wave/synth-pop duo formed in Los Angeles in 2020 under the name ‘Second Skin’, but changed their name to Sacred Skin in February 2022.
The first single, 'Colder' was released in March of 2021, when the band immediately stole the hearts of dark souls everywhere with their melancholic undertones and pitch perfect songwriting. Subsequent singles “Eyes Closed” and “Far Away” landed them early live shows at LA’s Substance Festival and the famed venue, the Hollywood Palladium.
This succession of singles and live dates led to the release of their first LP, 'The Decline of Pleasure' in May of 2022. Blending distinctive, dreamy new-wave arrangements with DaMert’s powerful vocals infused with lust and longing, the album is unlike anything in its class. Their use of early digital outboard gear and samplers, namely the Sequential Prophet VS synthesizer and the EMU Emulator II, retains a classic, timeless studio feel.
'The Decline of Pleasure' brims with love and hope, transporting the listener to a more innocent and carefree experience, as we move from the era of isolation into a bold new landscape.
