American Football Release 8-Minute 'Bad Moons' Ahead of May LP4

The stitched-together single sets the tone for the band's first album in seven years.

Overview

  • American Football (LP4) arrives May 1 on Polyvinyl, the group's first full-length since 2019.
  • “Bad Moons” fuses two long-traded demos into an eight-minute track positioned as a cathartic reflection on aging and responsibility.
  • Producer Sonny DiPerri helms the single and LP4, following his recent collaborations with Mike and Nate Kinsella.
  • The video is credited to director Alex Acy, with some outlets also listing Rémi Belleville, and it is set in rural Canada.
  • A world tour runs from May 15 in Denver to Aug. 16 in Minneapolis, with a second London date on June 28 added due to demand, and $1 from each ticket supports Safe Passage International and the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant & Refugee Rights.
