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 it's 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 on 2xLP and 2xCD, American Football (Deluxe Edition) features 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc 1 -\u003cbr\u003e1 Never Meant\u003cbr\u003e2 Summer Ends\u003cbr\u003e3 Honestly?\u003cbr\u003e4 For Sure\u003cbr\u003e5 You Know I Should Be Leaving Soon\u003cbr\u003e6 But the Regrets Are Killing Me\u003cbr\u003e7 I'll See You When We're Both Not So Emotional\u003cbr\u003e8 Stay Home\u003cbr\u003e9 One with the Wurlitzer \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e- Disc 2 -\u003cbr\u003e1 Intro [Live at the Blind Pig, Champaign, Il, 1997] [Live]\u003cbr\u003e2 Five Silent Miles [Live at the Blind Pig, Champaign, Il, 1997] [Live]\u003cbr\u003e3 Untitled #1 (The One with the Trumpet) [Boombox Practice Session, 1998]\u003cbr\u003e4 Untitled #2 [Boombox Practice Session, 1998] [Version]\u003cbr\u003e5 Stay Home [Boombox Practice Session, 1998] [Version]\u003cbr\u003e6 Untitled #3 [Boombox Practice Session, 1999] [Version]\u003cbr\u003e7 Never Meant [4-Track Album Prep, 1999] [Version]\u003cbr\u003e8 But the Regrets Are Killing Me [4-Track Album Prep, 1999] [Version]\u003cbr\u003e9 I'll See You When We're Both Not So Emotional [4-Track Album Prep, 1999\u003cbr\u003e10 7's [Live at the Blind Pig, Champaign, Il, 19\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Polyvinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48472504434871,"sku":null,"price":16.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0532\/2555\/4103\/files\/AF-Deluxe-004.webp?v=1779045809","url":"https:\/\/skyvalleyrecords.com\/products\/american-football-american-football-deluxe-edition-2xcd","provider":"Sky Valley Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
