“Silhouettes”, the first release from American Football’s third LP, seems to detail a mournful conversation between two lovers discussing an act of infidelity.
The song breaks away from the mould of previous releases in past AF records stylistically, featuring a thick, moody ambience.
[Verse]
Two wet
Silhouettes
Splayed on the bedsheet
Crime of the century
Forever unkempt
Oh, the muscle memory
It must take to stay close to me
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm a cloud when you come home to me
Tell me again
What's the allure of inconsequential love?
I'm a fool for your pageantry
Tell me again
What's the allure of inconsequential love?
[Chorus]
Oh, the muscle memories
Continue to haunt me
Oh, the muscle memories
Continue to haunt me
Oh, the muscle memories
Continue to haunt me
[Outro]
I promise (The day will come)
As soon as the war ends
I'll find you (Our denouement)
And we'll break laws again
As civilians
Silhouettes was written by Nate Kinsella & Steve Lamos & Steve Holmes & Owen (USA).
Silhouettes was produced by Jason Cupp.
American Football released Silhouettes on Tue Dec 11 2018.
I hated it as a record opener. I was adamantly opposed to it, and I’m so glad they ignored me. I was like, “You can’t start a record with a seven and half minute song with two minutes of glockenspiel at the beginning.” I’m so glad they said, “You know what, Lamos? Shut up, you don’t know anything.”...
