Multi-Platinum duo Cafuné release their second album 'Bite Reality'

MULTI-PLATINUM DUO CAFUNÉ RELEASE THEIR  SECOND ALBUM BITE REALITY — OUT TODAY NORTH AMERICAN HEADLINE TOUR KICKS OFF NEXT WEEK WITH SUPPORT FROM CRUSHED — SEE ALL DATES HERE THE NEW YORKER: “[BITE REALITY] CONTINUES IN THE HARD-CHARGING, ELECTRO-ACOUSTIC VEIN OF ‘RUNNING,’ INSPIRED IN EQUAL PARTS BY EMO, SHOEGAZE, AND NINETIES JAPANESE ROCK, BUT DEEPENS THE BAND’S SOUND WITH MORE EXPANSIVE INSTRUMENTATION AND SUBTLER LYRICS…” Today, multi-Platinum duo Cafuné have released their second album Bite Reality via the band’s own Aurelians Club label, distributed by SoundOn. Bite Reality is about the fine line between documenting your existence and doing the work to actually exist. What does humanity look, sound, and feel like in a dehumanizing era? Why prove that you’re alive when you can just live? Stream the new album today.  The band shared, “At the end of the day, all we have is one another. You can’t take anything with you when the lights go out. Embrace the future, bite reality.” Four years ago, in a vastly different context, the duo of Noah Yoo and Sedona Schat, released Running, a bionic debut album that soundtracked a collective urge for post-pandemic escapism. That record, Schat says, “is literally all about running away.” But as Cafuné enters their tenth year, their foundational questions—of authenticity, artificiality, and the existential tension between the two—feel more pressing than ever. “The entire time that the band has existed,” Schat says, “it’s always been about negotiating between digital manipulation and raw realness.” This moment—one increasingly defined by AI, algorithms, and artificial intimacy—is very much a bastion of “digital manipulation” in itself. Recorded in 2024, their new record Bite Reality finds the band at a familiar crossroads, reckoning between real and fake. The difference, this time around, is that they’re doing it in the real world, too. And it sounds like it. Bite Reality captures Cafuné in a confrontational state, no longer running from the bite of reality, but biting reality back. Their guitars growl; their vocals snarl; their lyrics teem with brutal honesty, not avoidant analogy.

Since 2022, the song has received its own Fortnite emote, was sampled in Lil Uzi Vert’s single “Red Moon,” and has remained a beloved staple in the band’s ever-growing catalog. The New Yorker recently profiled Cafuné and dove into the legacy of having a viral megahit and where you go from there.

Along the way, they will be supported by crushed. All tour info can be found here and below.
