ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: 03/22/2019
VARIANT: Clear Purple w/ Red & Black Splatter Vinyl LP

American Football’s self-titled 1999 debut quietly bridged emo and post-rock, becoming a cult classic before the band split almost immediately. Fifteen years later, they reunited with Nate Kinsella, growing into larger stages and releasing LP2 in 2016, which felt more like a rehearsal for their true evolution. With LP3, recorded again with producer Jason Cupp at Arc Studios, the band embraced space and subtlety, breaking from their iconic Urbana “house” imagery in favor of expansive fields that mirrored their widened sound. Featuring collaborations with Rachel Goswell (Slowdive), Hayley Williams (Paramore), and Elizabeth Powell (Land of Talk), the album blends shoegaze textures with American Football’s trademark emotional ambiguity, pairing conversational yet elusive lyrics with contemplative, expansive arrangements. LP3 signaled their transition from a reunion act to a vital, ongoing band, standing alongside rare successes like Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine in proving how rediscovered chemistry can deepen, rather than dilute, a legacy.
