EP84: Five Things You Should Definitely Know About Ressence feat. Alexis Sarkissian
Ressence is one of those brands that we've always loved from afar, but now that the Belgian indie has finally come to Burlingame, it's time for us to learn everything there is to know – and there is a lot. But these are the first five things that we think every collector should know about Ressence – and just to make sure we got the details right, for this week's episode, we tapped our pal Alexis Sarkissian, who's been with Ressence since the very beginning.
