Earlier this year, Fur Trade reunited. Now, the duo made up of Steve Bays (Hot Hot Heat, Mounties) and Parker Bossley (The Gay Nineties) have announced their first album in a decade. Dark Celebration will be released this fall.

In addition to the announcement, the band shared a new single called “Signature Moves”.

In a statement, Bays said, “Like many of the songs on this record, we wrote ‘Signature Moves’ between sunset and sunrise. It encapsulates our misplaced FOMO and phantom nostalgia for NYC underground club culture in the early ’80s. We had the film Paris Is Burning on loop in the background while writing and recording and felt a connection with the dancers and designers at those wild drag balls. We’re from a different world of course, but we still relate to that feeling of hiding in the cracks of a bubbling underground scene where you know will be understood and appreciated, while openly fantasizing of being superstars, and simultaneously sardonically paying homage to the surrounding gauche luxury culture of a city being rapidly gentrified.”

The single follows the release of “LOL Trash” this spring.
