The 11-track deep-dive into themes on modern society, the internet, and ego - specifically social media and its dark effects, it follows-on the 2016 compilation CAPSULE:1999-2016, and 2014's album Doom Abuse, and will be out on March 15 via Saddle Creek. Pre-order your copy here.
Despite The Faint’s nihilistic musings on Egowerk, vocalist Todd Fink and drummer Clark Baechle remain optimistic that things can improve if society is willing to absorb dueling perspectives. “The more you learn about any issue, any issue at all, the more you understand that it's more complicated than you think,” Fink says. “I'd like to see people less convinced that they're right about everything all the time. I guess I think we'll figure it out as time goes on.”
