American Football - Fifteen years later come back with a new video!

In the fifteen years since it's release, American Football's self-titled debut full-length has quietly become one of the most fiercely beloved titles in the US indie Polyvinyl catalogue. Though the trio Mike Kinsella (Cap'n Jazz, Owen, Owls), Steve Lamos and Steve Holmes only played a few shows and released just one other record (a three song EP that preceded this full-length), their influence and legacy has steadily continued to grow in the time after they disbanded.

 From its now iconic artwork to the band's unique songwriting approach highlighted by an emphasis on shifting time signatures and sincere lyrics. American Football proves a record doesn't become a true classic through flashiness or catering to trends, but rather the deep emotional connection it forges between the music and the listener.

After guitarist Steve Holmes discovered a set of cassette tapes containing a variety of unreleased recordings, the band curated an album's worth of these rare live recordings, demos, and practice sessions, in which the group rehearsed material they never recorded elsewhere to complement the original record. Now available as a limited edition 2x LP of 2,000 copies on 180 gram green / yellow Vinyl exclusive to the Polyvinyl webstore, unlimited 180 gram red vinyl, 2x CD and on cassette, American Football is being re-issued with beautifully expanded packaging that incorporates new photographs from Chris Strong along with lyrics, detailed liner notes written by the band, and never before seen band pictures.
