FauxMenco Unleashes Genre-Bending Debut EP Speed X Volume = FauxMenco — Out May 17 at Best Video Film and Cultural Center in Hamden, CT with special guests, Space Cranes
HAMDEN, CT – April 15, 2025 – Blending the fire of nuevo flamenco , the edge of metal , and the groove of acoustic rock , FauxMenco – the nylon-string guitar duo of Catherine Capozzi and Rafi Sofer – is set to release their debut EP, Speed X Volume = FauxMenco , on May 17. The five-track collection will be available exclusively via Bandcamp and at live shows.
Speed X Volume = FauxMenco explores the intersection of art and survival through five cinematic, emotionally charged instrumentals. Whether inspired by environmental loss or rediscovered life, the EP is a bold statement from a duo carving their own sonic path.
Standout tracks include:
"Toronado" – A swirling, storm-driven response to the climate crisis
"Gold Crumbs" – A hypnotic ode to humanity’s obsession with wealth
"LongBeak" – A tribute to the long-beaked echidna, once thought extinct
Pulling influence from artists like Django Reinhardt , Paco de Lucia , John Fahey , and Rodrigo y Gabriela , FauxMenco fuses intricate melodies with raw rhythmic energy — a combination one fan perfectly described as:
“The legacies of Paco de Lucia and Jimi Hendrix lead to FauxMenco's take on relaxed mayhem.”
