Four years on from Wet From Birth, Nebraskan new-wave outfit The Faint have announced details of their fifth record, Fasciinatiion (released October 6) and a small UK tour.
It marks a change in the times for the quintet, having moved from Saddle Creek to their own label, blank.wav. Here’s a tracklisting to gawp at:
‘Get Seduced’ ‘The Geeks Were Right’ ‘Machine in the Ghost’ ‘Fulcrum and Lever’ ‘Psycho’ ‘Mirror Error’ ‘I Treat You Wrong’ ‘Forever Growing Centipedes’ ‘Fish in a Womb’ ‘A Battle Hymn for Children’
They also perform at these venues, no doubt airing some new material:
August 27 Bristol Thekla 28 Manchester Ruby Lounge 29 London Cargo 30 Dublin Electric Picnic 31 Argyll Hydro Connect Festival
