Steve Holmes, Steve Lamos, and Mike Kinsella were college kids who knew that as soon as their album of spacious and tenderly sad songs was done they likely would be, too. Aside from a few shows, they would break up at the end of the school year and perhaps go on to other bands, jobs, and lives. And for a long while, of course, that is exactly what happened: American Football’s sole album was a twinkling and circuitous entry in the annals of Midwest emo, remarkable for its musical tenderness and lyrical ellipses but largely unremarked upon, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut what happened over the next two decades is an inspiring saga of wonderful work slowly finding its audience. American Football went from cult classic to emo linchpin, its reputation and sales accreting like sand piling up in some endless hourglass. The little white house on its cover, a physical manifestation of the Anywhere, U.S.A. melancholy of its songs, became a musical landmark. Reunions, reissues, and two new albums followed, American Football finally climbing atop its own steady growth curve and staring out to the massive and enchanted crowd it had created, to the scene it had helped foster. Made at the end of the last century, American Football, or LP1, unequivocally stands as one of this century’s most influential rock records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Polyvinyl released American Football in 1999, it was still an upstart label, an outgrowth of a fanzine with a simple business model and a pure passion for releasing the music co-founders Matt and Darcie Lunsford loved. They didn’t gripe much, then, when their new trio splintered into other acts. Both label and band have grown in the quarter-century since in ways neither would have predicted. After a years-long hunt for the original Digital Audio Tapes and a subsequent quest for a machine that would render them properly, American Football has been lovingly remastered by original mastering engineer Jonathan Pines in Urbana’s Private Studios, where it was recorded. The intertwined guitars have more sparkle, the drums more bounce and flash, the occasional bass more depth.

To most everyone that found them after the fact, the band was no more than an apparition. The record the only artifact left behind as a timeless snapshot of a group of individuals in transition, newly discovered each year by a fresh crop of music fans reaching a similar inflection point in their own lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen American Football announced in 2014 that they would play live for the first time in 15 years, the built up appreciation for that eponymous LP physically manifested itself as they sold out 3 nights at Webster Hall in New York City in a matter of hours, and then went on to do the same at venues around the world. A quarter of a lifetime removed, and at times thousands of miles away from the house on the sleepy street in the middle of Illinois depicted on their debut album’s iconic cover, they found themselves playing to sold out crowds that numbered in the thousands in London, Tokyo, Barcelona and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe again self-titled American Football finds the band with new material that takes them on a serendipitous detour down a familiar road. It is replete with the swelling emotions that might be spurred on by locked away memories unearthed by a familiar scent or crack in the concrete, or the rush of warm apprehension when coming face to face with a lover left before the fire was close to going out. \"The past still present tense\" sings Mike Kinsella on \"Home Is Where The Haunt Is,\" but while the house on the cover and the title of the album are the same, they are made strange by time and newfound perspective. \"We’ve been here before,\" he declares on album opener \"Where Are We Now?,\" \"but I don’t remember a lock on the door.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt a time when reunions have become rote, American Football is decidedly an anomaly. There is no past glory to relive or reignite, nor the burden to branch out and break from a well-worn formula. Seventeen years later everything still feels brand new, because for them it is. They are a band that for one reason or another closed the lid on their creative output just as they were beginning an unforeseeable upswing, and are just now after a stasis returning to uncork it with the benefit of greater maturity and better musicianship. The sound is even more expansive, the lyrics less naive and more world-weary, the songs have greater depths to explore and layers to peel back throughout. \"You can’t just forget all the other lives you’ve lived,\" Mike Kinsella sings, and every single one of the nearly two decades worth of experiences since they last put pen to paper as American Football seem to bleed through on this record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmerican Football is Steve Holmes (guitar), Mike Kinsella (vocals, guitar), Nate Kinsella (bass), and Steve Lamos (drums, trumpet). American Football was recorded at ARC Studios in Omaha, NE, and SHIRK Studios in Chicago, IL, and was produced by Jason Cupp.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"POLYVINYL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44309313618117,"sku":"AMERICAN-FOOTBALL-LP2-ORANGE-CASSETTE-7442","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0521\/6023\/3669\/files\/AmericanFootball2_be4e7fb5-1fb6-4375-99f6-67ff3fbed42a.webp?v=1734646117"},{"product_id":"american-football-lp3-blue-cassette","title":"AMERICAN FOOTBALL 'AMERICAN FOOTBALL' (LP3) CASSETTE (Blue)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLABEL: Polyvinyl Record Co.\u003cbr\u003eCASSETTE RELEASE DATE: 3\/22\/2019\u003cbr\u003eORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: 3\/22\/2019\u003cbr\u003eVARIANT: Blue Cassette\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quietest voices can be the most durable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmerican Football’s original triumph, on their 1999 self-titled debut, was to reunite two shy siblings: emo and post-rock. It was a pioneering album where lyrical clarity was obscured and complicated by the stealth musical textures surrounding it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike Slint’s Spiderland, or Codeine’s The White Birch, even Talk Talk’s Laughing Stock, American Football asked far more questions than it cared to answer. But there wasn’t a band around anymore to explain it, anyway. The three young men who made the album – Mike Kinsella, Steve Holmes, and Steve Lamos – split up pretty much on its release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFifteen years later, American Football reunited (now as a four-piece, with the addition of Nate Kinsella). They played far larger shows than in their original incarnation and recorded their long-anticipated second album, 2016’s American Football (LP2). The release was widely praised, but the band members still felt like their best work was yet to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“I feel like the second album was us figuring it out,” says Nate. “For me, it wasn’t quite done. I knew there was still more.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnter American Football (LP3). “We put a lot of time and a lot of energy into it,” says Mike. “We were all thoughtful about what we wanted to put out there. Last time, it was figuring out how to use all of our different arms. This time, we were like – Ok we have these arms, let’s use them.” The band used the same producer, Jason Cupp, and recorded the album at the same studio (Arc Studios in Omaha, Nebraska) as its predecessor – yet they approached it in a markedly different way. There was a determination to let the songs breathe, to trust in ideas finding their own pace. The final result is a definite, and deliberate, stretching of the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a result, LP3 is less obviously tethered to the band’s past than the second album. An immediate contrast between LP3 and its two predecessors is its cover. The two previous albums featured the exterior and interior of a residence in the band’s original hometown of Urbana, Illinois (now attracting fans for pilgrimages and photo opportunities), by the photographer Chris Strong. But American Football knew that LP3 was an outside record. Instead of the familiar house, this time the cover photo (again by Strong) features open, rolling fields on Urbana’s borders. It is a sign of the album’s magnitude in sound, and of the band’s boldness in breaking away from home comforts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmerican Football also joked that LP3’s genre was “post-house,” because of this very conscious visual break. But, in a strange way, there are links in LP3 with an actual post-house genre: shoegaze. The more exploratory members of the original British shoegaze scene were inspired by the dreamtime and circularity of house music (ambient house in particular), cherishing its sonic possibilities. That spirit drips into LP3, most obviously on “I Can’t Feel You,” a collaboration with Rachel Goswell of Slowdive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album also features Hayley Williams from Paramore on the album’s catchiest moment, “Uncomfortably Numb,” and Elizabeth Powell, of the Québécoise act Land Of Talk. Mike wrote lyrics in French especially for her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLP3 is contemplative, rich, expressive, yet with a queasy undercurrent. It is heavy with expectancy, revealing its ideas slowly, eliciting the hidden stories people carry around with them. “I feel like my lyric writing has changed a lot over the years,” says Mike. “The goal is to be conversational, maybe to state something giant and heavy, but in a very plain way. But, definitely in this record, I keep things a little more vague.” As on the first album, the lyrics on LP3 may seem confessional and concentrated, but the more you scrutinize them, the further their meaning slinks away. Or, as Mike tellingly sings on “I Can’t Feel You”: I’m fluent in subtlety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Somewhere along the way we moved from being a reunion band to just being a band,” says Steve Holmes. American Football is now a bona fide ongoing focus, and they are making some of the best music of their lives. American Football (LP3) stands with two other rare reunion successes – Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine’s m b v – as a fine example of how a band refinding one another can augment, rather than taint, their legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“I think that there are those albums, or the music that you heard when you were younger, and they imprint on you,” says Nate. “And no matter where you go, or what you do they’re always there.” He is talking of Steve Reich – an early and ongoing influence on American Football – but he might as well be reflecting what is said of his own band, and the ardent following they inspire. American Football stands as an enduring symbol of elusive emotional landscapes, where introspection can be as dramatic as confrontation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"POLYVINYL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44309313650885,"sku":"AMERICAN-FOOTBALL-LP3-BLUE-CASSETTE-2041","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0521\/6023\/3669\/files\/American-Football-LP3-Cassette-1_c00184b8-104e-4783-8abd-6ae551971767.jpg?v=1734630777"},{"product_id":"american-football-lp2-lp-limited-edition-only-200-made-olive-cloudy-clear-and-brown-twister-vinyl","title":"AMERICAN FOOTBALL ‘LP2’ LP (Limited Edition – Only 200 Made, Olive, Cloudy Clear, and Brown Twister Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ui-provider gt b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z ab ac ae af ag ah ai aj ak\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLABEL: POLYVINYL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVINYL RELEASE DATE: 05\/15\/2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: 10\/21\/2016\u003cbr\u003eVARIANT: Olive, Cloudy Clear, and Brown Twister Vinyl LP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ui-provider gt b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z ab ac ae af ag ah ai aj ak\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAmerican Football quietly disbanded shortly after releasing their debut album in 1999, having only played a few local shows, but their record gradually became a cult classic and one of Polyvinyl’s best-selling releases.
