VANISHING, THE Songs for Psychotic Children

Description

The Vanishing are Goth, but not the kind of Goth that perches you over the sink in a candlelit bathroom with a razor blade against your wrist. They’re more like Goth that makes you put on three extra coats of eyeliner and your pointiest dancing shoes. Songs for Psychotic Children sounds like Joy Division with the Cure’s guitar player on bass and Lydia Lunch or Nina Hagen singing—with unbelievably dance-y beats flush against flanged bass and panicked little-girl-trapped-in-a-woman’s-body (or vice-versa?) vocals
