American Football and TURNSTILE’s Brendan Yates unite on new single ‘No Feeling’.
The Mid-West emo group are back, with new album ‘American Football (LP4)’ set to land on May 1st via Polyvinyl.
A real highlight on the record, new single ‘No Feeling’ unites American Football with another familiar figure from the underground.
Yep, TURNSTILE’s very own Brendan Yates takes care of backing vocals.
Produced by Sonny DiPerri, ‘No Feeling’ builds to a rousing chorus, before exploding into shards of light. Mike Kinsella shares:
“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…”
