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 it s deluxe reissue the Best New Reissue title, calling it the most influential album in the genre. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the album s release, Polyvinyl is thrilled to announce a new remastered edition of the album with re-imagined artwork and packaging.
