American Football has announced two releases in celebration of their debut album's 25th anniversary. The first is a remaster of the self-titled album done by LP1's original mastering engineer, Jonathan Pines.
The intertwined guitars have more sparkle, the drums more bounce and flash, the occasional bass more depth. American Football (25th Anniversary Edition) is the definite version of the beloved album.
The 2xLP 25th Anniversary Remastered release will come in a spot embossed and silver foil gatefold package with a 24-page booklet. You can check out the remastered version of "Never Meant" and pre-order the vinyl release NOW.
The second release is American Football (Covers). The band has gathered an array of artists, such as Iron and Wine, Ethel Cain, Manchester Orchestra, and more to cover the entire album. Both releases will be available on October 18th via Polyvinyl Records. Check out Iron and Wine's version of "Never Meant" below:
