The Faint - Danse Macabre

The Faint – Danse Macabre
Label: Saddle Creek
Format: 2019 Remastered Reissue, White Vinyl

Originally released in 2001, Danse Macabre marked a defining moment for The Faint and for the evolution of early-2000s indie dance-punk. Packed with themes of death, paranoia, and betrayal, the album pulses with jittery synths, distorted vocals, and machine-driven beats that turned dark subject matter into a full-throttle dancefloor experience.

This 2019 remastered reissue on white vinyl breathes new life into the album’s sharp-edged production, bringing greater depth and clarity to the chaos. Ferocious, hook-laden, and endlessly danceable, Danse Macabre remains a cornerstone of the Saddle Creek catalog—and a high-water mark for electro-infused punk.
