Combined with their outrageously stylish getups and expert accessorizing, Faux Real is the complete package of pop perfection–with just enough DIY playfulness and innovation to break the mold. Executing perfect harmonies and comically synchronized choreography, the flowy and flamboyant Arndt brothers evoke Sparks’ quirkiness with a dash of Tears For Fears’ romanticism. Comparisons be damned, Faux Real is as decade-expansive in their sound as they are firmly rooted in the now. They not only traverse but transcend cookie-cutter nostalgia with their uniquely forward-thinking sensibilities, derived from modern pop’s melodic traditions and filtered through their own post-realist, artifice-embracing lens. It’s no wonder how they’ve managed to captivate and charm audiences across intimate European and American clubs alike.
