Limited edition vinyl LP box set includes digital download. It was surprising-gratifying last decade, when Lincoln, Nebraska stalwarts For Against finally garnered the cult popularity they'd long deserved-at least in Europe, where generous, rapturous crowds hailed them as "darkwave" pioneers. Back home, though, it took this era's shoegaze explosion/revival to bring them equal underground acclaim, accelerated by Captured Tracks' 2014 Box Set, compiling their two LPs and EP, 1987-1989. It even received a 7.8 in Pitchfork, suggesting, "If they had gained a tenth of the attention Interpol attracted, it would have been a wonderful world!" That richly deserved, delayed recognition is bound to heighten with these reissues of their three '90s records.
