Hosted by journalist and radio presenter Jenny Eliscu (@jennylsq), these are laid-back but in-depth discussions about the journey to find their creative voice and process, and how it has evolved over their career.

Cooper, saying, “I feel like we jumped out of a plane with a suitcase of money, except it was old demos, and then we faked our own death. We didn’t know we were faking it, we thought we were dead, everybody thought we were dead, and then it’s like, oh we’re alive, we have a new identity, we can do whatever we want.” American Football has just returned with an excellent fourth self-titled album (aka LP4), seven years after the previous one. Famously, earlier on for American Football, after the midwest emo legends released their genre defining self-titled debut album in 1999, they immediately broke up and it was 17 years before we got their next album. So Mike and I talk about that in this interview, we also discuss his personal creative history and his evolution as a songwriter, the influence of his older brother Tim, with whom he had the band Cap’n Jazz back in the day, and how artists like Depeche Mode and Dinosaur Jr. have deeply impacted his songwriting. American Football are on tour in North America right now, and you can get tickets here .","meta_description":"Talking about his band American Football ’s latest return following a long absence, frontman Mike Kinsella invokes the notorious D.B.
