Fake Fruit’s latest album, Mucho Mistrust, delves into the anxieties of modern life, the music industry, and global capitalism. The Oakland trio’s indie rock sound is filled with volatile energy, paired with Ham D’Amato’s acerbic humor and insightful lyrics. Following a period of personal upheaval, the album reflects themes of rebirth and resilience, with tracks like “See It That Way” and “Psycho” offering a raw and honest look at life’s challenges. Mucho Mistrust is a poignant exploration of choosing to participate in a flawed world while maintaining a sense of skepticism.
