The For Carnation

Musical Group

American post‑rock/slowcore project led by Brian McMahan (ex‑Slint), known for sparse, nocturnal recordings and a self‑titled 2000 album plus earlier EPs.

Project created by Brian McMahan (former member of Slint). Early EPs include Fight Songs (1995) and Marshmallows (1996); Touch and Go compiled those EPs as Promised Works. The band released a self‑titled album in 2000. Reviews emphasize slow tempos, intimate arrangements and ties to the Slint aesthetic.

DeBaser hosts a handful of thoughtful, generally positive reviews of The For Carnation. Critics emphasize slow, nocturnal atmospheres, ties to Slint, and standout EPs compiled on Promised Works. The music is repeatedly described as slow, intimate and emotionally intense.

For:Listeners of post‑rock and slowcore; fans of Slint and nocturnal, introspective music.

 "slow, ruthless and inexorable" like the drop falling on the prisoner's head to force him to reveal a secret (or to finish him off altogether) - plin (indeed).
