Ep. #1097: American Football

Post author By vish
Post date May 26, 2026

Steve Holmes and Steve Lamos from American Football are here to discuss American Football (LP4), the joys of marking final papers by the college students you teach, the story behind the alluring, unsettling drum part in “Man Overboard” and an appreciation for James Bond soundtrack songs, why Lamos left and returned to American Football in recent years, the factual aspects of LP4’s lyrical themes and thoughts on Mike Kinsella’s direct, unadorned vocals, whether my theory that the album flows like a theatrical production has legs, a shoutout to English degrees, working with producer Sonny DiPerri in California and a surprising but very welcome surfing lesson, playing many shows, other future plans, and much more!
