The album's darkly captivating second single 'Velvet Black' arrives with a music video directed by John Bradburn.  Umbra Vitae vocalist/lyricst Jacob Bannon comments, 'Lyrically this song is about pressure and how it forces actions that aren't in line with who we want to be. It breaks and changes people; making monsters and the meek. These cycles of dysfunction indiscriminately harm everything around us.' Watch the video here!

Discussing the track, Culloty stated, “'Secret Sister' came together like magic, and was 95% finished for years. I just couldn’t quite nail the energy in the mix, but Larry Crane got it immediately. The lyrics are strange to me - at first I thought it was about one thing, but as it came together over a few days, I realized it was about grief, losing family members and imagining the lives they may have lived.” Listen to the song here!

Listen to the song here!

Visionary art-pop duo Faux Real are back with a bang with their playfully absurd, tragically human new single, “Love On The Ground.' Fusing ecological concern with adulterous existentialism, “Love On The Ground” finds the duo – a.k.a. Los Angeles-based Franco-American brothers Virgil and Elliott Arndt – at their most vulnerable and surreal thus far, this time bringing aspects of their genre-bending and gravity-defying live shows to the table in the form of soaring harmonies, off-the-wall lyricism, and offbeat melodrama.
