VULGAR FASHION
This Denton, Texas death-pop duo just dropped their debut 10” on the local imprint Handmade Birds. The self-titled release packs five tracks of punchy, ice-cold synth pop that’s like an interpretation of what’s playing in the Walkman headphones of the gothic outcast character in an 80s teen movie. At their live shows, frontwoman Kubic Zirconia has been known to smear herself with fake blood while dancing in the fog of a cheap smoke machine, as programmer Slush taps keys in the background, acting as if he doesn’t give a shit. For some, Vulgar Fashion’s incessant irony and deadpan demeanour might make it impossible to really engage with their music, but highlight Krystal Tearz is a lustful, melancholic electro song that matches some of Crystal Castles’ finest moments.
