Review

Spin (12/99, p.220) - 7 out of 10 - "...piles on lovely arpeggio on another, affecting a sound that owes more to British mood-freaks Felt than emo colleagues like Jets to Brazil....[Mike Kinsella's] a rather torpid vocalist, and his droning moans...make him sound old beyond his years..."
Magnet (1-2/00, pp.64-5) - "...The group strips its music of any semblance of emo's power and energy but retains the vocal whininess and heart-on-sleeve lyrics that mark emo as an arrested-development genre....a few inspired moments do poke their pimply faces through..."

Title Note

American Football: Mike Kinsella (vocals, guitar, bass); Steve Holmes (guitar); Steve Lamos (trumpet, drums, percussion).

Before there was Owen, there was American Football, a musical outlet for the songs of Mike Kinsella (Cap'n Jazz, Joan of Arc). If the number of classic emo records can be counted on two hands, the list certainly includes American Football's self-titled LP, a release that nailed a certain kind of youthful wistfulness while never seeming whiny or immature. That album was preceded by a three-song EP (the band's only two releases), reissued by Polyvinyl in 2009. All three tracks are gems, especially "The One With the Tambourine," full of nimble guitar hammer-ons (in clean, undistorted tones) and Kinsella's equally crisp vocals. Math-y polyrhythms distinguish "Letters and Packages" and "Five Silent Miles," though they're ultimately just as warm.
