New York's Fashion Week is back! No, not the one you're probably thinking of—unless, of course, you're thinking of sludgy noise-rock-meets-doom-pop instead of mind-numbingly expensive scraps of fabric and sky-high stilettos. This Fashion Week has been peddling its wares since 2011, skronking merrily across their grimy outer boroughs stomping grounds and preparing to take their sweaty, manic live show on the road once more—this time, to Europe, where they'll proceed to aurally pummel the denizens of Germany, Romania, and more.Before that, though, they've got a (kind of) new record to usher out into the world. So Last Season is a real grab bag of new, old, and rare tracks from a band that's never seemed much concerned with sitting still or sticking to a static lineup—keep an ear out for a molten vocal appearance from Primitive Weapons' David Castillo. The album pulls together a live tracks, covers (of Helmet's "I Know" and Unsane's "Only Pain," the latter of which features Unsane drummer Vinny Signorelli ), a non-album B-side entitled "Rich Hallister," a remastered version of the original Fashion Week demo, and two EPs recorded prior to the band's 2015's full-length album, Prêt-à-Porter. The band will also release a seven-inch vinyl version of the demo via their Bandcamp page.
