FAUX REAL RELEASE NEW SINGLE, “SPOOKY BOIS” NEW VIDEO STREAMING NOW SUBVERSIVE FRANCO-AMERICAN AVANT-POP DUO WILL HOST CELEBRATORY “LIVESCREAM” EVENT ON OCTOBER 29 VIA INSTAGRAM AND LIVE MINECRAFT PERFORMANCE ON OCTOBER 31

“If Mick Jagger was cloned and two of these clones went rogue and became romantic bards who spent too much time in Parisian nightclubs, it would be Faux Real.” - i-D “Recognizing a similar soul (and creating music with them) is something Faux Real prides themselves on, and it helps them produce psychedelic bangers you’ll want to turn up and dance to in these increasingly strange times.” - PAPER Magazine Franco-American avant-pop duo Faux Real have released their new single, “Spooky Bois,” uncoincidentally in time for Halloween. The single arrives with a self-directed companion visual shot by Jack Thompson-Roylance streaming now on Faux Real’s official YouTube channel. Written, arranged, performed and produced by Faux Real, “Spooky Bois” is available today at all DSPs.  STREAM “SPOOKY BOIS” WATCH “SPOOKY BOIS” "At a time of year when the boundary between the faux and the real is more vaporous than ever, Faux Real take a long, hard look at themselves, with X-Rays and a wide-open mind,” says Faux Real. “It is a time to reconnect with the simple truths we face as humans: we are all, somewhere under our skin, just skeletons. ‘Spooky Bois’ casts this inner spook against a bigger, scarier, outer spook: the seemingly unstoppable descent of world politics into madness; the invisible hand of the free market choking us in our sleep; capitalism’s skeletons coming out of the closet and haunting us in broad daylight.” Known for the strength of their mysterious 70’s/80’s glam and post-punk minimalistic live shows, the duo will be performing “Spooky Bois,” along with material from their debut self-titled EP released earlier this year, during a unique digital “Livescream” party via Instagram on Thursday, October 29, at 5pm ET/ 2pm PT. The official invitation is listed below. Additionally, Faux Real will host a second live event via Minecraft on Saturday, October 31 at 9pm ET / 6pm PT. For more information, please follow Faux Real on Instagram.

The debut EP was heralded by the spellbinding single, “Boss Sweet,” and its companion visual. FAUX REAL also includes the acclaimed single, “Second Sweat,” joined by its own creatively choreographed and self-directed companion video, both streaming on their official YouTube channel.  STREAM FAUX REAL WATCH “BOSS SWEET” In the spring of 2018, brothers Elliott and Virgile Arndt invoked the union of their inner gene genies and gave birth to Faux Real. As they conceived it, Faux Realism combines elements of post-punk, glam rock, and contemporary R&B with a unique sense of humor, boy band tropes, and a forward-thinking approach to modern pop culture. Far before releasing any music, Faux Real began performing live, wooing half-confused, half-amused crowds one unconventional venue at a time. Building on a lifetime of inside jokes and shared mp3 libraries, the Arndt brothers created a signature show that simultaneously fetishizes, destroys, and re-invents their kinship through compelling choreography, playfully exploring the boundaries of duality, ridicule, and sexuality [full bio].
