American Football have shared a new song featuring Turnstile's Brendan Yates.
The melancholic yet dreamy track is the second, following Bad Moons, to be lifted from the Midwest emo band's new album 'American Football (Lp4)', which is due out on May 1. Explaining how Yates' interpretation of the song changed his part in it, American Football frontman Mike Kinsella said:
"Brendan came into the studio to sing along to a 'gang vocal' call-and-response part I’d written for the chorus of “No Feeling.” I had imagined his voice would be one of many voices scream-singing it, and was excited for it to be a sort of Easter Egg on the album. But after tracking the original parts, he asked if he could try a higher harmony that he was hearing. As soon as he started singing it, all of our jaws dropped, and we all were looking at each other like “Oh shit! THAT’S the dude from Turnstile!” His voice is so singular, and once he sang the part in *his* range, it was clear that the part now belonged to him and him alone…"
The single's accompanying video was directed by Cady Buche and Travis Barron of Unlimited Time Only, who commented:
"Our goal with music videos is to tell a story that captures what we think and feel while listening to the song. When we listened to “No Feeling” for the first time, we thought a lot about mysterious places like outer space and the bottom of the ocean—they’re beautiful and they also kind of freak you out. The music also brought to mind the idea of going down with the ship or a sense of crushing inevitability. Then we thought, what if you flipped that? What if you opened on a sunken ship and that was the beginning? What if this sunken ship were a thriving habitat for ghosts who live there? What if something came along that jeopardized their beautiful afterlife?"
The band will support the new record with a short run of US shows in May, followed by a UK and European tour in June, then a North American tour in July and August. Tickets for all dates are on sale now.
