Fakeforsure is a Vancouver, British Columbia project of a Canadian-French composer, Luc; bio describes a young artist whose music-making began during a global event (bio truncates), linked site owldev.ca. "Mercury" (2:38) is track 1 on Solar System, released 7 September 2026, self-released on Bandcamp — nine tracks, one per planet plus an "outlier" (Pluto). "Mercury" was first released as a standalone single in April 2025, over a year before the album. The release is explicitly homemade: the artist sells home-burned CDs (edition of 5) and hand-dubbed cassettes (edition of 4) burned on what they call their "lovely yet poopy printer". First-edition cassettes contain a misprint — "plays only on one side" — corrected in later editions. All nine tracks run 1:57–4:14, making the full album 24 minutes 17 seconds; artwork is by illustrator maogician.
