Faux Real – “Faux Real” (Released 11th October 2024)

Description

//City Slang//

£23.99 – 1xLP, Limited Edition Clear Vinyl

Visionary art-pop duo Faux Real (a.k.a. Los Angeles-based Franco-American brothers Virgile and Elliott Arndt) release their debut album Faux Ever on City Slang.

Faux Real’s long-awaited debut album Faux Ever is a self-described “11-piece-symphony for head-banging and longing,” the album sees the fraternal duo continuing to play on the outskirts of language and sound, exploring themes of heartbreak, labour, and the home with harmonies and humour, playful beats, and en franglais. Recorded between Paris, New York, London, Los Angeles, and Provence, Faux Ever thrusts Faux Real’s sultry, surreal, and unclassifiable sound towards a glossier pop horizon, an existential sonic pastiche with a glistening digital sheen.

Faux Ever also includes such certified bangers as the bold, glitchy, and infectious “Rent Free” and the acclaimed “Faux Maux,”.
