Fake Fruit Share Gotta Meet You Single

Leave a comment

Just a couple of weeks now and we’ll get to hear the entirety of Mucho Mistrust, but in the meantime, Fake Fruit have left us with a skronking post-punk piece that erupts into an all out jam session. They waste no time here, wiggling in with off-kilter percussion and a bopping sax squeal that sets the pace for the vocals to chase down. While the lyrics chase down everything, those notes move and squirm, always evading, adding to this sort of unstructured I style that’s as disorienting as it is intriguing. And then…it just starts to shake, the edges becoming obscured and everything starts to shake disorderly, prompting a closing freakout that’s the perfect exclamation mark! Mucho Mistrust is out via Carpark Records on August 23rd.

Fake Fruit Drop Mas o Menos Single

Really loving the energy coming through on this new Fake Fruit single, just another reminder of the diversity of the Oakland scene (third song today from the area!). Their first two tracks from the forthcoming Mucho Mistrust LP were illustrating the group’s ability to stretch themselves beyond the expectations. Growth is great, but this tune feels like their lineage coming through, ferocious and scratching at your speakers as they drive forth frantically. You get a brief respite in the tune, but it only ramps up the tension more so they can tear the song to the ground. Mucho Mistrust is ready to rock n’ roll; it drops on August 23rd via Carpark Records.

Another day, another great track coming out of the Oakland area, this time from Fake Fruit. The band are totally fucking with you here too, playing with your favorite post-punk tropes to suck you right into their world. At first you get those angular guitars (think Omni) branded with a pseudo-spoken word vocal display. Just as you think they’re ready to jettison off into stereotypical fun, they break it down real slowly and noise, hitting you with a wash of heavily distorted guitars and squawking horns, but pulled back so it rolls in like a dense fog. If you get sucked in, as you should, then wait for the burst of pop vocals from Hannah right at the 2:20 mark. What a great second single; they release Mucho Mistrust on August 23rd via Carpark Records.

Fake Fruit Return with Mucho Mistrust

Leave a comment

Back in 2021, Fake Fruit dropped their debut LP, and it was pretty much unanimously adored by the indie kids; they return now with a brand new album titled Mucho Mistrust, and the title track is now available for you. The band definitely toy with the post-punk genre, working with the riffs that are sometimes angular and sometimes bouncing, yet they always crash into one another to create this wall of brilliant noise that shakes your walls. Ham D’Amato’s vocals remind me of an American answer to Courtney Barnett, taking this sort of indifferent delivery and spinning it into something that delivers undeniable cool. If you’re looking for a rad listen to wrap up your summer, better pencil in Mucho Mistrust, out August 23rd via Carpark Records.
