The For Carnation

The For Carnation

The For Carnation are a post-rock band from Louisville, Kentucky. Formed in 1994 by Brian McMahan who is the only constant group member. McMahan's previous band Slint hinted at the distinctive sound and sombre aesthetic he would create in the For Carnation. To date they have released an EP and two albums: "Fight Songs" (Matador Records, 1995), "Marshmallows" (Matador, 1996), and "The For Carnation" (Touch and Go Records, 2000). Fight Songs and Marshmallows were compiled into one record, "Promised Works", and released by Runt in 1997. "Promised Works" was re-released by Touch and Go Records in 2007. The band has included Doug McCombs and Johnny "Machine" Herndon of Tortoise (band), Todd Cook (Shipping News) as well as Britt Walford and David Pajo of Slint.
