The Faint - Blank Wave Arcade - Limited White Vinyl LP

The Faint's, Blank-Wave Arcade -- the color of night-time neon. Its' interior, an unlikely one night stand of high-tech and punk rockethics. Lonely and desolate, its' supercollision pop rushes at you like images from a Berlin Blade Runner or Mad Max.

Their music, stark and uncompromising, is filled with electronic surges, darkwave brushstrokes, confessionals and come-ons. The Faint combine rock instruments (guitar, bass) with "now” electronic elements (synths, drum machines) to create melodic, melancholic post-modern music-- but not without hope. Their music is haunting, yet danceable--an aesthete's memory of tainted pop music.
