Album Notes & Community Reviews

The eponymous final album from The For Carnation is a cold, incredibly minimalist exploration of slowcore and post-rock. Brian McMahan's whispered, mysterious vocals float over extremely sparse, dark, and nocturnal instrumental arrangements influenced by dub and trip-hop.
