'In The Marshes is Words On Music's third in a series of album reissues by Lincoln, Nebraska's post-punk pioneers For Against. The record represents the darkest and most experimental period in For Against's history. Primarily recorded on 4-track in 1986 during a break from the recording sessions of their debut album Echelons, six songs were eventually culled together to comprise the EP later released by Independent Project Records in 1990 for their 10" Archive series.
The material on In The Marshes is awash with faraway vocals, heavy coats of reverb, and echoed electronic drums triggered manually by drummer Greg Hill. But In The Marshes is far from an electronica album; ever-present is singer Jeff Runnings' angular, growling bass to which Harry Dingman's Factory meets 4AD Records guitar noise is anchored.
In 2007, Words On Music reissued the EP for the first time on CD packaged in a six-panel digipak designed by Bruce Licher with two exclusive bonus tracks: a studio version of "Amnesia" and the original version of the fan favorite "Amen Yves" (both with Greg Hill on live drums).'
