It's been a minute since we heard a new band from these parts worth getting excited about, but Denton's Vulgar Fashion and their forthcoming self-titled 5-song debut certainly fit that bill. The duo's dramatic, damaged synth-pop -- the beautiful "Krystal Tearz," in particular -- has been likened to both Crystal Castles + the Italians Do It Better roster, and this pulsing new track is a dark, subversive (see their mission statement above) song about golden showers on the moon that I can only assume sounds even more cathartic and fucked up on a sweaty dancefloor. Both tracks appear on VF's excellent self-titled 10", due March 19 on Handmade Birds Records. Catch the band next month, along with the Soft Moon, How I Quit Crack, and others at 35 Denton.
