LIMITED EDITION KELLY GREEN 2LP VINYL GATEFOLD W/ BOOKLET
Release Date: 7th November 2025
"On October 12th & 13th, 2024, American Football performed two sold- out shows at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles - part of the band’s 25th anniversary tour for their self-titled debut album. Featuring guest appearances from Ethel Cain and M.A.G.S., these special shows were recorded for American Football’s first and only live album, American Football (Live in Los Angeles) . To coincide with the album’s release, the band teamed up with Prophet Media and director Steph Rinzler for the release of a full-length concert film, featuring candid interviews with the band, Ethel Cain, Yvette Young, and M.A.G.S. Both the film and album captures the legacy and unexpected staying power of a group that helped define a genre. After quietly releasing their self-titled debut album in 1999 while still in college, American Football disbanded after the album’s release to focus on other projects, only to reunite 15 years later to a fanbase that had been consistently growing throughout the underground / emo scene. The album later appeared on Rolling Stone’s “40 Greatest Emo Albums of All Time” list at #6, with Pitchfork giving its deluxe reissue the “Best New Reissue” title, calling it the “most influential album in the genre.” -American Football’s first and only live album, recorded at two sold-out shows at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles during the LP1 25th Anniversary tour. -15% of proceeds donated to the California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund -Features appearances from Ethel Cain and M.A.G.S (vinyl & concert film only) -One-time, limited edition pressing -Deluxe Gatefold Jacket with full-sized 8-page booklet featuring photographs from the performance taken by Atiba Jefferson. -Vinyl pressed by Good Neighbor, whose mission to offer a high-fidelity listening experience stands side-by-side with their commitment to preserving our planet.
