American Football announce new album. Here's why you should be excited
Following a long-awaited reunion, American Football gave us their first album in nearly two decades, 2016’s 'American Football II'. The Illinois based emo icons disbanded after releasing their genre-defining self-titled debut album in 1999, only to reunite in 2014, much to the delight of fans.
Now, after a few teasers on social media, American Football have officially announced a third album to kick off the new year.
The new album sees the band employ a markedly new approach, incorporating new, previously unexplored sounds, as evident in the newly released lead single. As we eagerly await the new album, here's a quick rundown of everything we know so far and what to expect from the emo legends' third outing.
What is it called?
After posting a mysterious photo titled “III”, the band revealed that the new album will simply be titled 'American Football (LP3)'. Call it unimaginative or simplistic (this is American Football's third self-titled album), but this is definitely one album that you don't want to judge by the title because what's inside it is definitely more imaginative than the bland title.
