The Faint releasein 2008 their first album in four years "Fasciinatiion" through their own, newly-formed label, blank.wav. Fasciinatiion is The Faint's fifth album,and it is the first in the band's ten-year history to be written, recorded, produced, art directed and released entirely on their own. Fasciinatiion is an album that draws on many defining facets of The Faint's sound, while remaining completely different from anything else they've put out. A record whose themes include predictions and the future, tabloid culture, the allure of what may never be, childhood lost and more, Fasciinatiion sounds as if it's been beamed in from a satellite whose sole purpose is observing, and making sense of, the details of every day existence.
