American Football - American Football (March 22, 2019) Album • Page 15

We got married in the garden that you grew up in
I've never seen so far ahead of me
Been so blind...
You're buried in the library, just you could hide from me
I've never been so alone, so desperate to be home

This part is so good. This whole thing is so good.

 

Yea the parallel with the Before Sunrise series is pretty solid.

 

Mmmm I love those movies

 

Three of the greatest films ever

 

They're great, but the Three Colors trilogy has it beat.

 

someone's speaking my language itt

 

are we talking Kieslowski?

if so, I agree it’s the better one but also a bit of an apples & oranges kinda situation

 

Is there a connection somehow or was it just a cinephile flex lol

 

can’t see it beyond “trilogy”

and even so... K’s is more thematic than anything...

I’ll say flex :P

 

Just a flex hahah

 

Amazing and true tweet

 

hahaha yeaaaah

 

happy release day to great album

 

this album is pretty much everything I could have asked from them. it feels like a 'true' follow-up to LP1, whereas LP2 (while still good) felt like a deer learning how to walk again. they captured the sound of the first LP and added their own 2019 spin on it.

it has the longer atmospheric post-rock runs, some clever lyrics, and Rachel/Hayley/Elizabeth are all absolutely stunning. I want them to join them on tour SO BAD.

 

"heir apparent" is the fucking truth

 

also it's really like they pulled the guest vocalist list from my fucking dreams. rachel goswell!!!!!

 

I love how ominous the end of "every wave to ever rise" gets.

 

Yeah if there's one thing I want AF to be, its motherfucking ominous, I love that shit

 

sorry for the cursing im all jacked up on caffeine

 

thank you for apologizing. i was about to report you.

I love how this doesn't sound like anything else Mike has ever done before, but it also has little glimpses of classic Mike Kinsella in there too to give it just enough familiarity. This album is fucking awesome.

(not sorry for cursing)

 

so. many. layers.

 

This is by far my favorite American Football album.

 

I think the 2nd track is my fav so far

 

Only halfway through and I can agree with you.
