Faux Real is the French-American art pop duo formed by brothers Elliott and Virgile Arndt. Known for their theatrical live aesthetic and satirical, high-energy performances, they’ve quickly carved out a unique space in modern pop. Critics have described them as 3the Willy Wonkas of wonky bops,2 a nickname that captures their playful yet precise approach to music and stagecraft. With a sound that blends Euro dance rhythms, synthpop hooks, glam rock swagger, and post-punk edge, Faux Real creates immersive experiences that feel both decadent and sharply observant of contemporary culture.
