FAUX REAL SECOND SWEAT

Having existed as a mysterious entity appearing on excellent line ups across the capital over the last year, London-based brothers Elliot and Virgile Arndt aka Faux Real, have finally lifted the curtain with their astonishing debut single 'Second Sweat'. Featuring additional drums and production from Tame Impala and Pond's Jay Watson (GUM) as well as backing vocals from rising songwriter Laurel, it's a fully-formed first outing that toes the line between bleating krautrock, seventies psychedelic rock and empowering disco-pop. With the twosome's complementary dual vocals reeling off a series of surreal images ("a fancy flesh prison" being a personal fave), 'Second Sweat's frighteningly catchy chorus will embed itself in your subconscious and encourage you to throw your inhibitions to the wind. Showcasing not only their musical talents but their visual ones too, the track comes complete with a tasteful self-directed video, where you can learn some accompanying dance moves if you feel so inclined. Watch it here now. -Holly Mullineaux
