The For Carnation was begun in 1994 by Brian McMahan. A musician, songwriter, and producer from Louisville, Kentucky, his previous work with Slint, Squirrel Bait, and The Palace Brothers have been widely referenced in connection with TFC. To date, The For Carnation have released an EP and two albums: Fight Songs (matador records, 1995); Marshmallows (Matador Records, 1996); and The For Carnation (Touch & Go Records, 2000). Fight Songs and Marshmallows were compiled to achieve Promised Works, which was released by Runt in 1997, and then again by Touch & Go in 2007.
