about

One year after the release of their critically lauded Shade Side Sunny Side record, Lincoln, Nebraska post-punk stalwarts For Against return with their eighth full-length album, Never Been.

Never Been marks the second record reuniting singer/bassist Jeffrey Runnings with original guitarist Harry Dingman III, who was a core member of the band's first three records (1987's Echelons, 1988's December, and 1990's In the Marshes).

Never Been showcases the depth and breadth of For Against's sonic palate — alternating angular, foot-stomping post-punk ("Antidote") with lush, piano-driven ballads ("Of a Time"), and dark Joy Division-esque dirges ("You Fade"), all woven together by elegant instrumentals ("Black Willows,” "Per Se").
