59 X FakeYou

Posted in Records on February 23, 2026

Of Montreal, punk band Fake You has announced their upcoming debut album, Promise to Disappear, a gruff yet sensitive collection to release via 59 X Records on April 3.

The band, which includes the former drummer of The Sainte Catherines, released the lead single last week -- "100 Million Sheep." 

It's not about farming.

"'100 Million Sheep' is about trying to make sense of someone with a fractured sense of self. The sleeplessness, the repeated counting, the endless wandering... they all reflect the tension between two versions of the same person and the way closeness can feel impossible when the person you need is also at odds with themselves. It's intimate, unstable, and strangely heartbreaking. I feel like it's something everyone feels at some point, but understand that it can become rather dangerous to fully embrace the duality," the band says.
