Danse Macabre, the third studio album from Omaha's the Faint, came out on Saddle Creek on August 21, 2001, with British fans waiting roughly another year for it. Mike Mogis produced alongside the band, and together they built a cold, glittering dance-punk machine: synths that throb and stab, drums locked to the grid, and Todd Fink's vocals sneering over the top like a goth at a rave.
Fink, drummer Clark Baechle and multi-instrumentalist Joel Petersen had started the group as Norman Bailer, and this record, along with Blank-Wave Arcade before it, won them an underground following on American club floors. "Agenda Suicide" is the one that hit the countdowns. The first pressings carried a photo the band hadn't cleared, so they were pulled and reissued with a picture of member Dapose on the cover instead. A remix album followed in 2003, with Photek, Junior Sanchez and Paul Oakenfold among those taking the songs apart.
