For a band that's been around for eighteen years, For Against sound
remarkably young on their sixth LP, their first in five years. Known for their
Joy Division/Factory Records sound in the mid-'80s, the
trio evolved over the years, acquiring a more dream-pop jangle. Marked by simple
chord-patterns on a lush guitar, angst-driven lyrics, and the transparent pleasure
in repeating
catchy codas, Coalesced is rife with an adolescent '80s romantic-guitar
pop nostalgia. 'Outside A Heart' reminds of The Church circa
Starfish, and 'Shelflife' could soundtrack the heartbreak scene
in John Hughes movie.With one foot in the British post-punk of Joy Division
and the other in the gliding atmospherics of Kitchens of Distinction, For Against
are worthy of any and all accolades imagined. Lovers of Echo & the Bunnymen,
Joy Division, and The Chameleons will be happy to know that someone
is still keeping their tradition alive. Coalesced is a seamless,
coherent masterpiece of riveting pop craftsmanship,
unspoiled by studio contrivances or artistic pretensions.
