3RA1N1AC ‎– Hissing Prigs In Static Couture VG+/VG+

Released in 1996, Hissing Prigs in Static Couture was the final studio album by American indie rock band Brainiac. It marked a shift in their sound, incorporating more electronics than previous releases. This experimentation laid the groundwork for their next project, which would delve even deeper into electropunk.

Despite the genre-bending electronics, the album retains a foundation in indie rock, noise rock, and post-hardcore. The band’s raw energy is balanced by catchy hooks and frontman Tim Taylor’s distinct vocals.

Critically acclaimed, Hissing Prigs in Static Couture is considered one of Brainiac’s best works, alongside Bonsai Superstar. It’s been described as a “lost classic” and the band’s “undisputed masterpiece.”
