The SACRVMENT sound includes the "lush art pop" approach to pop music
New York electronic producer-songwriter SACRVMENT curates a playlist that showcases his influences in his signature sound. His sound is a culmination of influences ranging from 10s Alternative-Pop (Lorde, Charli XCX, Lana Del Rey) to the re-imagination of R&B (The Weeknd, Kali Uchis, Alina Baraz, Majid Jordan), borrowing the "future-forward" sounds of (Bjork, Arca, Alex Lustig, Sophie) while paying homage to rich harmonics of Jazz, Classical (Chet Baker, Ella Fitzgerald, Claude Debussy, Ola Gjeilo) and 00s Rock.(Evanescence, Linkin Park, Nine Inch Nails)
