Fake Fruit – “Cause Of Death” [Video]

Fake Fruit — The Oakland, CA-based post-punk band featuring Hannah “Ham” D’Amato, Alex Post, & Miles MacDiarmid — releases their new single/video “Cause of Death,” off of their new album Mucho Mistrust, out August 23rd via Carpark Records, and announces fall headline tour (See dates below). Following the “jagged, hooky title track” (Brooklyn Vegan) “Mucho Mistrust,” “Cause of Death” self-deprecatingly takes aim at anxiety and indecision as the track morphs from a gorgeous sax-laden banger to something cathartic and anthemic. “I wrote the lyrics for this song when I felt so indecisive that I imagined someone performing an autopsy on me and declaring my cause of death to be indecision,” explains D’Amato.

On the inspiration for the video, D’Amato elaborates: “I was thinking about that meme where the man is gradually turning into a clown without realizing it, and how that’s kind of what it feels like to participate in the rigged game of capitalism/the music industry where the house always seems to win.”

Fake Fruit’s West Coast tour with Omni is currently underway, and the band has just announced new East Coast and Midwest tour dates, with stops in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and more. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased here.
