FVRMN Shares Performance Video For “French Uhuru”

In July 2025, Tokyo, Japan’s prolific alternative punk band FVRMN released its fifth full-length studio album, Suicides (Sweet Cheetah Records / Steadfast Records).

Suicides is a sprawling, adventurous album spearheaded and shadowed by lead songwriter J Holmes recent onset of seizures, a process that caused him to reflect on the nature of our own metaphysical mentality, the inner turbulence that we endure, and the time it takes to pick up the pieces of those who have left us behind.

Today, the band unveils the sleek official video for the album’s ‘French Uhuru,’ which was filmed in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo, by Michael Williams in March 2026. Watch it here.

Holmes says it is “a reflection on those days and nights spent pouring all our energy and fascination into our personal passions and pursuits, yet remaining somehow obsessed with our own inevitable death and the day that it all ends. A strange and beautiful balance between two worlds of compulsion and mania…our own earthly loves and experiences and the endless looming spectre of the final curtain call. And when it’s all done and done…our bodies will be gone…but where do those memories go?”

Suicides is a collection of massive songs with a monstrous production for maximum impact and features an amazing list of guests on the album including: Mario Rubalcaba (Earthless, Clikatat Ikatowi, OFF!, Rocket From The Crypt), Chris McQueen (Snarky Puppy), Leo Abrahams (Brian Eno, Mark Ronson, Florence + The Machine), Sean Husick (Milemarker, Ghost Work).
