    This record influenced the way I write music. Discovering it as a teenager was seminal in setting my musical knowledge and path. I ended up getting tattoos of the characters in the art on the back cover.

About

Hissing Prigs in Static Couture is the third album by Dayton, Ohio indie band Brainiac. Released on March 26th, 1996 with Touch & Go Records, the 13-track work emphasizes a more electronic-based direction for the band (in comparison to previous albums and EPs such as Bonsai Superstar). Containing Brainiac's most successful and wide-reaching songs, such as "V1NC3NT COM3 ON DOWN" and "1ND1AN POK3R - PART 3," the album was described as "futuristic pop" by lead singer Tim Taylor. Hissing Prigs in Static Couture foreshadows the electro-punk style of their 1997 EP Electro-Shock for President. The era of this album's release is also where Brainiac began to adopt its highly stylized spellings (for example, "3RA1N1AC") and 70's-influenced attire.
