Brian McMahan (born January 26, 1969) is an American musician, singer and songwriter from Louisville, Kentucky. He was a guitarist and vocalist in the seminal rock bands Squirrel Bait[3] and Slint.[4] After the breakup of the latter in November 1990, he went on to play with Will Oldham on his project Palace Brothers. In 1994, McMahan formed The For Carnation[5] which acted as a creative outlet; he remains the only permanent member of the band. He was also part of King Kong, a band formed by original Slint bassist Ethan Buckler. McMahan plays guitar on the song "Why I'm So Unhappy" by Dntel.[6]
