After an early start with the name Norman Bailer, whose lineup briefly included Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst -- the Faint built a local following before breaking out with 2001's <I>Danse Macabre</I>, which darkened indie songwriting with goth mascara (then spangled it with electro's shiny circuits). <I>Danse Macabre Remixes</I> brought them all the way over to the club, with help from remixers like Paul Oakenfold and Tommie Sunshine; subsequent albums <I>Wet From Birth</I> and <I>Fasciinatiion</I> have continued to burrow wormholes from the present day back to the '80s new-wave glory days. - Philip SherburneElectropopen720Mon, 28 Dec 2009 09:03:24 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.47219&rws=%2Fthe-faint%2Fmusic-videos.rss It's hard to imagine a band like the Faint coming out of Omaha, but if crops can be turned into automotive fuel, there's no reason this corn-fed quintet can't distill its own electronics-fueled version of high-octane indie rock.
