Fake Fruit – Cause of Death
Today, 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.
“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.”
