Description
The first Faint album to feature the Omaha-based bands signature moody New Wave-inspired sound, 1999s BLANK-WAVE ARCADE is easily one of the groups best Saddle Creek releases. Frontman Todd Baechle (later Todd Fink) and company clearly have carnal concerns on their minds (see Sex Is Personal, Worked Up So Sexual, and Casual Sex), but the synth-addled music itself is coolly detached and filled with anxiety, as revealed on the Gary Numan-esque Cars Pass in Cold Blood and Sealed Human. On this outing and its strong follow-up, DANSE MACABRE, the Faint forged its dark, electro-leaning aesthetic, positioning itself as a preeminent Midwestern rock act.
