Sacred Skin (FKA - Second Skin)

New wave/ synth-pop duo formed in Los Angeles 2020 including Brian Tarney and Brian DaMert. Changed name to Sacred Skin in February 2022.

Sacred Skin were formed in the Spring of 2020 by friends Brian Tarney and Brian DaMert. They were brought together by their shared love of the kind of earnest new wave music that was the soundtracks to their childhoods. Songs with warm production, yet unabashed with raw emotion and fraught with heartfelt meaning. Songs from the song catalog of artists like Peter Gabriel, Talk Talk, and New Order. Songs that still resonate today.

Unlike the post-millennial lens of nostalgia, Sacred Skin sincerely recreates the soundtrack of the mid-80s. Their songs are the kind of electric dreams that fall when sunsets beam through the Venetian blinds and palm trees of Brutalist beach house, setting the scene for a noir crime drama circa 1986.

Following the self-release of several digital singles, Sacred Skin recently signed to Synthicide—a label, club night, and concert event in NYC established in 2014.
