False Figure are a death-rock band from Oakland, California who seamlessly blend goth, punk, and post-punk.
The band are putting out a new album on November 1 called Castigations, the first two singles and a video are available on Bandcamp. The first single has a driving punk/new wave baseline with heavy doses of ‘90s-era Cure in a delightful throwback. “Possession” has a bit more of a straight punk beat but with some more of that Cure-esque atmospheric echo. It’s deeply moody and hauntingly melodic without getting morbid. The video, with its harsh lighting and trippy effects, creates an effective David Lynch-style aesthetic that’s simultaneously beautiful and unsettling.
