Faux Real

Faux Real is a Franco-American duo formed by brothers Elliott and Virgile Arndt, between Paris and London, now based in Los Angeles. Their music evolves at the crossroads of alternative pop, performance, and stage art, in a universe where physical energy and staging occupy a central place. Revealed by singular live shows mixing choreography, a sense of spectacle, and practical effects, Faux Real quickly established itself on European and international stages, touring alongside Wet Leg and Metronomy, and present at numerous major festivals. Their approach deliberately blurs the boundaries between concert, performance, and pop theater. With their new single That Far and the announcement of their second album Poison Time (2026), the duo continues an aesthetic made of tension and precision, where each gesture seems at once mastered and slightly out of reach. A performative, incisive, and resolutely elusive pop.
