American Football
My guests are Mike Kinsella and Steve Lamos of American Football, who put out their fourth self-titled LP earlier this year. We talk about being rewritten into a history they weren’t part of, Nick Drake, Bright Eyes (because I shoehorn it in), American Football as a minimalist project, Pinback/Mogwai/Tortoise, how they wrote then vs. how they write now, the neuroscience of syncopation, the GQ profile from earlier this year, the Top-200 Emo Albums of All Time, The Tony Kornheiser Show, and the confluence of sports and indie music. And more of course! AF: https://www.americanfootballmusic.com/Me: instagram.com/routinelayup
