The Faint – Blank-Wave Arcade (Deluxe Edition)
Label: Saddle Creek
Format: Remastered Deluxe 2LP on White Vinyl – Includes New & Era Remixes, Live Tracks & Rarities

Released in 1999, Blank-Wave Arcade marked The Faint’s breakout moment—melding vintage synth-pop with punk urgency and futuristic swagger. A cornerstone of late-‘90s dance-punk, the album captured the band in full artistic bloom: confrontational, stylish, and completely unlike anything else coming out of Omaha at the time.

This Deluxe Edition celebrates the album’s 25th anniversary with a meticulous remaster from the original tapes by Justin Shturtz (Sterling Sound), a brand-new remix from the band, era-specific remixes, live tracks, and a rarity previously only available on an out-of-print 7”. Pressed on white vinyl and housed in updated packaging, this is the definitive version of the record that rewired indie rock for the dancefloor.

Whether rediscovering it or hearing it for the first time, Blank-Wave Arcade remains a sharp-edged, pulse-raising reminder that coolness is best left behind.
