Originally released in 2004 on Saddle Creek Records, Wet From Birth stands as one of The Faint's most celebrated albums, showcasing the Nebraska band at the peak of their electro-rock sound. The record strikes a compelling balance between driving guitar riffs and pulsating synthesizers, earning a reputation for its sharp, high-energy production and absence of filler tracks.
This 2025 deluxe edition brings the album back in definitive form, with the original recording meticulously remastered for vinyl from the original tapes by Justin Shturtz at Sterling Sound. The release also expands on the original tracklist with previously unreleased material from the album's sessions, including unrealized tracks and demos, making it a rewarding listen for longtime fans and newcomers alike. Housed in a heavy foil-covered gatefold with a poster insert, this is a carefully crafted presentation of a genuinely landmark record.
