KENT’S KORNER
I love Slint’s SPIDERLAND, and so I have affection for this The For Carnation album, even after only one listen. But this is BUILDING NOTHING OUT OF SOMETHING we’re talking about. “Never Ending Math Equation,” “Broke,” “Interstate 8,” “A Life of Arctic Sounds,” “Grey Ice Water”… c’mon. I’m jinxing this for myself, aren’t I? Anyway, always vote your conscience.
