An incredible LP, full of cascading guitar sounds, naked tenderness and emotional meltdowns, and passage after passage of shimmering beauty. It's just plain dazzling.” – Jack Rabid, THE BIG TAKEOVER “Jeffrey Runnings makes a serious case for himself as one of the past decade's most underrated tunesmiths. Coalesced may very well be the best record For Against has ever done." -- POP CULTURE PRESS “One of their best recordings. Coalesced is the very ghost of a movement in music, which for me is supremely satisfying, and at the same time will not come again. To its lasting credit, Coalesced is everything you remember.” -- SKYSCRAPER Description: Nebraska's FOR AGAINST returns with their first album in five years, and one of their most compelling and melodic releases to date. COALESCED delivers Jeffrey Runnings' trademark soaring vocals enmeshed in a delicate latticework of guitars and punctuated rhythms, to craft an arresting blend of lucid, gorgeous atmospheres. The album was produced by Mike Mogis (Azure Ray, Bright Eyes, Cursive). The title track harkens JOY DIVISION - etching the contemplative disposition of FOR AGAINST’s debut album ECHELONS, only to burst into a rousing chorus and race through a three-minute coda of vigorous guitarwork. "Fuel" and "Shelflife" are matchless ballads, perhaps the finest and most heartrending Runnings has ever composed and rivaling the best of COLDPLAY. On "Medication" and "So Long," Paul Engelhard's spry, energetic drumming anchors Runnings' airy vocal melodies to Steven Hinrichs' sparkling guitars. The finale, "Love You," resurrects early FELT into an excursion of the scenic side of post-rock, weaving multiple layers of guitar melodies with a precise, balanced cadence and rhythm. In short, COALESCED is a seamless, coherent masterpiece of riveting pop craftsmanship, unspoiled by studio contrivances or artistic pretensions. Track Listing: 1. Medication (5.28) 2.
