Stream American Football’s Self-Titled Reunion Album
The widely beloved Illinois emo band American Football have released exactly one album: A self-titled affair that came out in 1999. Now, 17 years later, they’re getting ready to release another. American Football broke up in 2000 and got back together two years ago. And after much speculation, they’ll release their sophomore LP — which, confusingly enough, is also self-titled — next week. It’s a grand, stately piece of intricate, inward, personal guitar rock, the type that just about nobody makes anymore. We’ve posted the early songs “I’ve Been Lost For So Long,” “Give Me The Gun,” and “Desire Gets In The Way.” And now, at long last, you can stream the entire album below, via NPR.
American Football is out 10/21 on Polyvinyl in the US and Wichita in the UK and Europe.
