Has it really been four years since The Faint released Wet From Birth? That sounds crazy, but when I really ponder that fact, it seems about right. What the hell took them so long? Have they been in the Peace Corps, spreading their electro-vibe to third-world countries in need of something a little more modern? Did they get office jobs?

Well, whatever they’ve been up to, they managed to find time to record a new album, Fasciinatiion, which is due out on their own label blank.wav on August 5. The first track off the album, “The Geeks Were Right,” is very much The Faint. It could’ve been on any of their other albums, but when you kind of invent a sound, part of you might say, “If it ain’t broke, why fix it?” Or, they might actually not know how to change up their sound. Either way, I’m just happy there’s something new to check out, and I’m pretty sure there will be some real nice surprises on the album.

Fasciinatiion Track List:
1) Get Seduced
2) The Geeks Were Right
3) Machine in the Ghost
4) Fulcrum and Lever
5) Psycho
6) Mirror Error
7) I Treat You Wrong
8) Forever Growing Centipedes
9) Fish in a Womb
10) A Battle Hymn for Children
