Faux Real tease debut album with new single, "Hi Tension"
Faux Real have returned to share “Hi Tension” as the latest preview of the art-pop duo's debut album, Faux Ever.
“This is a song that was originally written in 2020, to disrupt the stillness of lockdown - we love how full-on it is, unapologetically shiny, mischievous and disjointed," the duo explains. "We’ve always been drawn to the daredevil figure in American lore, it’s kind of a theme throughout the album. This was one of our attempts at capturing its bold, brash and burning spirit. Often we start imagining a video because we feel the themes jump out at us — with Hi Tension we could almost “see” the song as much as hear it.”
Faux Real will be released on 11 October via City Slang, and is available to pre-save now.
