FAUX REAL AND WET LEG SHARE "WALKING AWAY FROM MY DEMONS (WET LEG REMIX)” VISIONARY ART-POP DUO ON TOUR IN NORTH AMERICA NOW ACCLAIMED DEBUT ALBUM, FAUX EVER, AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE NOW VIA CITY SLANG

Faux Real by Daniel Everett “Faux Real’s music embodies both sides of their oxymoronic name. Indeed, Elliott and Virgile Arndt, the French-American brothers who make up Faux Real, craft music that is equal parts sugar-pop confection and warm-bodied blood…On the new album, the duo explore the expanse of their own philosophy, which they call ‘Faux Realism.’ It’s a theory that is ever-existential and which often veers into the meta…Whether it's existentialism or the toils of the biz, the brothers always know how to deliver a big message via a sweet infectious hook.” – PAPER “2024 Albums of the Year” - BBC RADIO 6 “Arch art-pop of the highest order… Faux Real’s live performances involve the kind of crop-topped boyband choreography not seen since the 90s, along with stunts such as flutes being pulled out of trouser legs and a knowing helping of homoeroticism. Unsurprisingly, they tend to steal the show at any festival they play.” – THE GUARDIAN “Faux Real combine strains of glam rock, punk, and electronic, plus an inimitable sense of fashion, to create maximalism at every turn — something that’s better to be seen to be believed.”  – ALTERNATIVE PRESS   “Straddling the line between serious and surreal, brothers Elliott and Virgile Arndt are creating a new strain of performance-art-pop-rock in their own mirror image.” – DIY   Acclaimed alternative jesters, Faux Real are excited to share the Wet Leg remix of the fan-favorite single, “Walking Away From My Demons.” Consistently a highlight in their live show, Wet Leg reimagines the track into a whole new sonic experience.  "After we opened for Wet Leg on their first US tour in the fall of ‘22, we became fast friends. So when the chance to collaborate came up, it just felt like a no-brainer,” Faux Real explain. “Rhian’s deadpan verses play perfectly against the frantic energy of Josh’s nightcore rework, giving the clubby beat this cool confidence—‘I walk around my neighborhood, you’re looking down, I’m looking good’—like finally taking control over the title’s demons. Sometimes, the only way to shake off feelings of inadequacy is to just get up and go, however underprepared. Sow, reap, repeat.“ LISTEN TO "WALKING AWAY FROM MY DEMONS (WET LEG REMIX)”

Known far and wide for their genre-bending, gravity-defying live performances, Faux Real – a.k.a. Los Angeles-based Franco-American brothers Virgile and Elliott Arndt – are currently bringing their singularly flamboyant and creatively daring live show to clubs across North America with their eagerly awaited North American headline tour, with a March 1 finale in New York City at new hotspot, Night Club 101. “Walking Away From My Demons” is but one of the many highlights found on Faux Real’s acclaimed debut album, Faux Ever, available everywhere now via City Slang Records. Hailed by The Guardian as “a high-camp, whimsical collage of Euro-dance, perky Joe Jackson-era synthpop, Sparks-sized harmonies and melodrama, plus post-punk, electro, glam rock and more,” the album includes such singles as “Full Circle,” “Hi Tension,” “Love On The Ground,” “Rent Free,” and “Faux Maux,” all of which thrust Faux Real’s sultry, surreal, and unclassifiable sound towards a glossier pop horizon, favoring ultra-digital software instruments while showcasing their long-standing knack for hugely catchy vocal melodies.

# # #   Elliott and Virgile Arndt founded Faux Real in 2018, blending post-punk, glam rock, and fresh beats to fashion a truly inimitable musical experience. From their increasingly accomplished studio output to mesmerizing, unprecedented live performances, Faux Real invite the audience to join them 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, Paramore, and Wet Leg. Now, with Faux Ever, Faux Real continue to gleefully ignore boundaries and barriers, assuring the journey is as exhilarating as the ultimate destination.   Faux Real celebrated the arrival of Faux Ever with a seemingly non-stop international live schedule that includes dates in the UK, Europe, and the US. Highlights include a variety of festival appearances, a special show supporting cumgirl8 at Paris, FR’s La Station (May 29), an EU/UK run alongside instrumental British quartet (and City Slang labelmates) Los Bitchos, and sold-out US headline performances at Brooklyn, NY’s Baby's All Right and Los Angeles, CA’s The Echo. In addition, this summer saw the duo featured on electropop icons Metronomy’s “Contact High” alongside Franco-Korean artist Miki. “I can’t detach myself from the song,” said Metronomy’s Joe Mount of the collaboration,  I hear ‘Contact High’ and I think ‘wow I’m involved with this!’ I can listen to it again and again.” CONNECT WITH FAUX REAL ISTHISFAUXREAL.COM | FACEBOOK | INSTAGRAM | TIKTOK | YOUTUBE
