HARMS – “Devil Vs. Cherub”
There’s something delightfully unsettling about HARMS’ new single, “Devil Vs. Cherub…” Maybe it’s the huge, industrial-tinged guitar fuzz, but it could also be the almost-cacophonous chord progression. Maybe it’s the post-punk anguish of the Cure-esque, breaking-up vocal delivery. Either way, “Cherub” caught out ears for it’s one-of-a-kind feel and raucous individualism. Check it out below…
