Faux Real Share New Single ‘Seesaw’ And Announce World Headline Tour

Franco-American art-pop duo Faux Real have returned with new single ‘Seesaw’, the latest preview of their forthcoming sophomore album Poison Time, due for release on September 4 via b4. Accompanied by a striking self-directed video, ‘Seesaw’ finds brothers Elliott and Virgile Arndt at their most immediate and infectious, pairing bilingual lyricism with theatrical pop hooks and a restless energy that mirrors the song's central theme of emotional instability. Built around a relationship in freefall, the track balances sharp-edged production with euphoric melodies, showcasing the duo's unique ability to blur the line between sincerity and performance.

The release arrives alongside news of an extensive headline tour across North America, Europe and the UK later this year, including dates in London, Manchester, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin and New York. Recorded at home in Los Angeles, Poison Time marks a new chapter for Faux Real. While retaining the pair's signature blend of spectacle, wit and world-building, the album leans into a more visceral and reflective approach, exploring themes of identity, self-perception and authenticity through a sharper songwriting lens.

Known for their wildly inventive live shows, Faux Real have spent the last few years building a devoted following through relentless touring, festival appearances and support slots with the likes of Wet Leg and Metronomy. Their distinctive mix of choreography, performance art and maximalist pop has earned praise from The Guardian, DIY and Alt Press, while helping establish the duo as one of alternative pop's most intriguing emerging acts.

With Poison Time on the horizon, ‘Seesaw’ offers another glimpse into the meticulously crafted and slightly surreal world of Faux Real — one where chaos and control coexist in perfect balance.
