Sermons By The Devil : Below The Surface

The latest from the heavy synth project Sermons By The Devil comes at us in a subtle way.

Signals // Transmissions From SFI Recordings

Sometimes a record label comes along and just gets it. They find a groove; an aesthetic that you can lock into and engage with on a very personal, visceral level. It’s not just the music, though. Sure, the music is the reason we show up. But it’s the artwork and the vibes and the sort […]
