American Football – American Football (LP1) | Red Vinyl 2xLP (Deluxe Edition)

One of the most influential and beloved emo and math-rock albums ever recorded. American Football's 1999 Polyvinyl Record Co. debut American Football is a sparse, introspective record built on interlocking guitar arpeggios, trumpet melodies, and Mike Kinsella's quietly devastating vocals — "Never Meant," "Stay Home," "The Summer Ends," "Honestly?," and "I'll See You When We're Both Not So Emotional" are standout tracks on an album that defined a generation of emo and math-rock and continues to resonate deeply with listeners decades after its release. This 2014 deluxe edition reissue is pressed on red vinyl across two records and includes a second disc of rare archival material: live recordings from the Blind Pig in Champaign, IL (1997) and boombox practice sessions from 1998–1999.
