Faux Real – the LA-based art-pop duo formed of Franco-American brothers Elliott and Virgile Arndt.
The pair blend post-punk, glam rock, and a taste for pop grandeur, fashioning a truly inimitable musical experience. From their increasingly accomplished studio output to mesmerising, unprecedented live performances, Faux Real invite the audience to join them on an enthralling post-realist expedition through contemporary pop culture with razor-edged satire, inspired boy band choreography, and a charged sensuality that has fast earned them a fervent fan following that includes among their number such iconic stars as Duran Duran, Beck, Paramore, Metronomy, and Wet Leg. Now, with the imminent arrival of Faux Ever, Faux Real continue to gleefully ignore boundaries and barriers, assuring the journey is as exhilarating as the ultimate destination.
The band will tour the UK with label mates Los Bitchos in Oct and Nov with a London show at O2 Forum on 7 Nov, and will soon be announcing headline shows for Spring 2025.
“Hi Tension” is taken from the new album ‘Faux Ever’, out October 11th on City Slang. Listen/pre-order: https://fauxreal.lnk.to/FauxEverYD
