Blank-Wave Arcade (Deluxe Edition)

Last year was the 25th anniversary of The Faint’s breakout album, Blank-Wave Arcade, on which they began to embrace synths over guitars. (The Faint originally started out as a more straightforward emo/indie-rock band called Norman Bailer, which featured Conor Oberst on vocals before he started Bright Eyes.) To mark the occasion, Saddle Creek release a deluxe edition of Blank-Wave Arcade, which includes a remastered version of the original album as well as remixes, rarities, and live tracks.
