Comments: From the promoter:
"After 22-years as a band, it should come as no surprise that on their ninth album Never Been, Nebraska's For Against, have created another atmospheric dream-pop masterpiece. Ethereal vocal melodies float atop lush guitar harmonies on opening track 'Sameness' until the album takes a melancholic twist on 'Black Widows,' a song that revels in its sparse instrumentation. Never Been transitions effortlessly between wistful pop hooks and gloom-filled post-punk instrumentation, ending with perhaps its most powerful track 'You Fade,' a showcase for the perfected sound of dark ambiance. Fans of Joy Division, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, and Slowdive, will appreciate For Against's flawless blend of post-punk and shoegaze vibes, finding this release the ideal way to dive right into the band's extensive diskography."
I found "Antidote" to be the best blend of upbeat pop with a slightly darker tinge.
