American Football is thrilled to debut their latest single “Every Wave to Ever Rise (feat. Elizabeth Powell)”, from the forthcoming full-length album American Football (LP3), out March 22nd on Polyvinyl Record Co. The hauntingly beautiful multi-lingual duet is just one of the ways American Football breaks new ground on their forthcoming album. This spring and summer the band will tour North America with support from Illuminati Hotties, Pure Bathing Culture, and Tomberlin, and have just announced their appearance at Fuji Rock Japan. All upcoming tour dates are below.

The collaboration with Powell came about after her band Land of Talk toured with American Football in 2017. “We were all crazy about her voice already,” relates Mike Kinsella, “so we reached out to see if she’d be interested and she was! The melody and some fill in lyrics were already written and demoed but once she was on board I thought it’d be fun / add some depth to her ‘character’ by having her sing a line in French. So I wrote some lines and sent them to her, and then she translated them for me in the way a person who spoke French would actually say them. She was so cool and helpful and it turned into literally my favorite part of the album.”
American Football’s third full-length album has landed on the most anticipated releases of 2019 lists for Pitchfork, AV Club, and Stereogum among others. “Every Wave to Ever Rise (feat. Elizabeth Powell)” follows “Uncomfortably Numb (feat. Hayley Williams)”, which Rolling Stone praised as a “seamless duet”, and the single “Silhouettes”, deemed “arrestingly beautiful” by the New York Times, and “a vivid shift in songwriting for the band” by NPR Music.

American Football, whose songwriting has been so influential to a generation of musicians, raised the stakes on the writing and recording of their third effort under the American Football moniker, and it shows. The band break new ground sonically, and explore new voices too. “Familiar without submitting to nostalgia,” writes The FADER, “it’s a fresh faced and dew-dropped introduction into a new chapter of American Football.”
LP3 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.
“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 mbv – as a fine example of how a band refinding one another can augment, rather than taint, their legacy.
American Football is Steve Holmes (guitar), Mike Kinsella (vocals, guitar), Nate Kinsella (bass), and Steve Lamos (drums, trumpet).
