The Faint\u00a0have announced their long-awaited new album ‘Egowerk,’ which is set to release on March 15, 2019 via Saddle Creek. Made up of vocalist Todd Fink, drummer Clark Baechle, keyboardist Graham Ulicny, and guitarist and bassist Michael \u201cDapose\u201d Dappen, the group that ignited an electro-pop-punk movement is back with an 11-track album with themes on modern society, the internet, and ego – specifically social media and its dark effects. The band also just launched their Pledge Campaign<\/a>, which includes the pre-order of the album, special merch items, signed CDs and vinyl, handwritten lyric sheets, signed memorabilia and more.<\/p>\n

Along with the announcement they’ve shared the\u00a0video for lead single Child Asleep<\/em>.\u00a0<\/strong>The electrifying album opener echoes well-loved Faint singles from the ‘Danse Macabre’ days, with rapidfire techno beats that sear so hot, your forehead will break into a sweat regardless of proximity to a dance floor. And though the synths should sound familiar to any Faint follower, the song\u2019s monotone message is at once classic and current: \u201cIf I was wise, I would see I\u2019m a child still asleep.\u201d<\/em> Check it out via YouTube below.<\/p>\n
