American Football‘s LP4 arrives next month, and they’ve shared one of the highly anticipated collaborations they had revealed, “No Feeling,” which has Brendan Yates of band of the moment Turnstile harmonizing with Mike Kinsella. It’s a soaring, gorgeous preview of the new album, and you can watch the video, directed by Cady Buche and Travis Barron of Unlimited Time Only, below.
“Brendan came into the studio to sing along to a ‘gang vocal’ call-and-response part I’d written for the chorus of ‘No Feeling,'” Kinsella says. “I had imagined his voice would be one of many voices scream-singing it, and was excited for it to be a sort of Easter Egg on the album. But after tracking the original parts, he asked if he could try a higher harmony that he was hearing. As soon as he started singing it, all of our jaws dropped, and we all were looking at each other like ‘Oh shit! THAT’S the dude from Turnstile!’ His voice is so singular, and once he sang the part in *his* range, it was clear that the part now belonged to him and him alone…”
About the video, Buche and Barron say, “Our goal with music videos is to tell a story that captures what we think and feel while listening to the song. When we listened to “No Feeling” for the first time, we thought a lot about mysterious places like outer space and the bottom of the ocean—they’re beautiful and they also kind of freak you out. The music also brought to mind the idea of going down with the ship or a sense of crushing inevitability. Then we thought, what if you flipped that? What if you opened on a sunken ship and that was the beginning? What if this sunken ship were a thriving habitat for ghosts who live there? What if something came along that jeopardized their beautiful afterlife?”
LP4 arrives on May 1 via Polyvinyl, and you can pre-order our exclusive “half burgundy/half beige” vinyl variant in the BV shop.
American Football will also be on tour beginning in May, including an NYC show at Brooklyn Paramount on July 9 with Ian Sweet. See all dates below.
