In 1997, Mike Kinsella, Steve Lamos, and Steve Holmes came together to form American Football. They released their self-titled debut album in 1999, distinct from their 2016 and 2019 self-titled works. This 9-track album combines sad guitar riffs with emotional lyrics in a downbeat atmosphere. The Illinois band's experiments with unusual time signatures add a touch of melancholic charm. Tracks like 'Never Meant,' 'The Summer Ends,' 'Honestly,' 'For Sure,' and 'I'll See You When We're both Not So Emotional' are perfect for those going through a breakup or reminiscing about first love. This limited edition comes on blue smoke-colored vinyl, includes a printed lyric insert and a digital download, and was originally released in 1999 under Polyvinyl Records in 2022.
To enjoy this American Football vinyl LP, simply place it on your turntable and use the tonearm to start playing. It's important to handle the vinyl gently to avoid scratches. When not in use, store it in a cool, dry place and keep it in its sleeve to protect it. The included digital download can be accessed by following the instructions provided with the album.
