American Football Unveils Epic New Single 'Bad Moons' Ahead of 'LP4' Release
American Football drops 'Bad Moons,' the lead single from their highly anticipated fourth album, LP4. The band also announced a tour with proceeds benefiting immigrant and refugee support organizations.
Last week, American Football confirmed the arrival of their fourth studio LP, officially titled American Football but commonly known as LP4. Today, the band shared the album’s lead single, “Bad Moons.” The track began as two separate songs, which were combined into a single eight-minute experience. Alex Acy and Rémi Belleville directed the accompanying music video.
Watch it below:
"I decided to begin the song as a child," American Football frontman Mike Kinsella said in a press statement. "Or, rather…two. Stacked up in a single trench coat; secretly, reluctantly living the life of a grown man, accruing all of his missteps and guilt along the way. By the end, these missteps are almost spilling out of the boys. A cathartic confession, hopefully at least somewhat relatable to anyone listening who’s ever lived a life."
American Football’s LP 4 is out May 1 on Polyvinyl. The band will kick off a sprawling tour of North America and Europe later that month. For each ticket sold, they’ll be donating a dollar, pound, or euro to Safe Passage International and the Illinois Coalition for Immigration & Refugee Rights.
