American Football American Football on 180g LP + Download

In the fifteen years plus since its original release, American Football's self-titled 1999 full-length debut has quietly become one of the most fiercely beloved titles in the Polyvinyl Records catalog. American Football's first (and only) album showcases cleanly picked guitars, intricate drumming, and the stellar vocals of Mike Kinsella (Owen, Joan of Arc). 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.
