The For Carnation is the long-running project of Detroit-based multi-instrumentalist Doug Scharin, known for its intricate, melancholic post-rock and post-punk soundscapes. Promised Works arrived after a 17-year gap in releases, during which Scharin was active with other projects but The For Carnation remained dormant.
