Fauxcils

Goth pop duo Fauxcils excavate and sift the work of Jenn Herd and Dunstan Topp, two francophone artists from Sudbury, Ontario. Fed by cold love, androgynous fashion and synthesizers, Fauxcils burn a lush soundscape of sequin sequences, jarring drum machines, chorused lashes and painted faces. With modern textures fixed in ageless arrangement, they construct ornate video performances of ceramic collage. As artists working in screen printing, ceramic and video; masters of DIY, their live shows often feature installation and performance, transforming any space. Channeling coldwave classics such as New Order and Kraftwerk, as well as contemporary acts like Xiu Xiu and Geneva Jaccuzi, Fauxcils evoke remorse for loss with their debut album, Tears of Paint, out April 25th 2025.
