American Football shares new track, “Give Me The Gun”
Short-lived but influential emo icons American Football recently announced their second album, titled American Football, which will be released on October 21, via Polyvinyl. The band initially released one track, “I’ve Been Lost for So Long,” which they’re now following up with another new track, titled “Give Me the Gun.” The song premiered via NPR, where the band spoke about the song. It’s a dreamy and intricate track with lots of the hypnotic instrumentation the band is known for, with a nod to another classic band.
“This song is just me checking in on a distressed loved one,” says the band’s Mike Kinsella, “done in my best Bernard Sumner impersonation.”
