fakemink Announces New Mixtape The Boy Who Cried Terrified

fakemink has a new mixtape on the way. The Boy Who Cried Terrified is out January 29 on EtnaVeraVela. Although details around the release remain scarce, you can check out the cover art below.

Alongside the tape, the UK artist has also begun teasing a new album, Terrified. There’s even less information currently available about this record—all we know so far is that it’s due out sometime in 2026, and that it’s a separate project from The Boy Who Cried Terrified.

Since releasing his debut self-produced mixtape, London’s Saviour, in 2023, fakemink has shared a string of singles including “Givenchy,” “Easter Pink,” and “MAKKA” with Ecco2k and Mechatok. This year, he’ll also appear at a number of festivals, including Coachella in April, Rolling Loud in May, Primavera Sound in June, and All Points East in August.
