But if this were any other band I feel like I'd be rolling my eyes and talking about nostalgia cash grabs. But I luv AF tho . And the single is nice. 7 minutes ago, rooks said: Kinsellas are the shit no matter what the name on album is. V. much this. Strong agree.

highfives Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I think I'm to the point where I don't even give a shit if it's a cash grab. If the music is good, they deserve the cash they're grabbing for. Shitty Rambo, lampwick, Derek™ and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 This doesn't feel cash grabby to me at all.

But it's a familiar sentiment with any band who's been dormant for a decade+. Age does stuff to you other than make you old. No matter what, that new song is fucking gold, just like the vinyl I preordered. Hairy Potter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I also just bought literally everything you could possibly buy for this release. Hopefully it's sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Yeah, I'd like to echo the sentiment that this is in no way a cash grab. Hypothetically recording two new tracks onto a 7", throwing it exclusively into another reissue of their S/T, and charging double the normal price... would be an actual cash grab. Musicians writing quality new music – even if it's 17 years later – is a very good thing.

Derek™ Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) But if it was, in theory... kudos to them for "grabbing" as much as they are with such ferocity. Not that I'm surprised, buy they're burning through those limited variants. Edited August 24, 2016 by Derek™ Fix your shit, VC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRHews Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Or if they repressed AF1 for RSD... This song is fucking gorgeous and I instabought the poly earlybird. Welcome home AF. In love with it already. Tommy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's now in the top 5 for most anticipated albums of the year for me. I'm really, really curious what 17 years can do to a band, especially after hearing that amazing new song. I'm very, very hopeful. I think this album might be able to fill the hole that a few 2016 post rock albums have left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burkazoid Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Gutted to have missed out on the EU silver. Will hold out in the hope of another nice EU variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Potter Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I've been waiting for this for over a year and a half. I saw them on New Years Eve when they first started playing together again and Mike hinted at new music coming. What a perfect couple of months here! New Owen and American Football back to back. Life is good. Have a nice day everybody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress On The Sky Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I've seen this band discussed a lot but I had never heard anything by them until yesterday and I've gotta say their debut album is really fantastic. Sadly my slowness means I won't be grabbing the EU silver but I'm really debating throwing down some cash for the orange crush. Just a shame they don't have both albums on vinyl in the same store.

If you were to order both albums from the US, you'd likely get hit for import tax, whereas you wouldn't for just the one, since it's under £15 value. You could order the first album from somewhere like Music Magpie who have it for around £10.

I will definitely look into finding the first one from somewhere here in the UK, even before import tax delivery from abroad is something I'm trying to cut down on because USPS delivery charges have been exceeding the cost of the actual items I'm purchasing recently. Was going to do a Robotic Empire order the other day for items worth $40 and delivery was $47. I'll look into music magpie though, thanks for the heads up.

Stress On The Sky Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 ....and I caved. Got both the debut on order from Music Magpie & Orange crush from the EU store. Thanks @Burkazoid for suggesting Music Magpie £12 for the debut is insanely cheap. Burkazoid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's for the double disc version too - the single disc version is £10.89. Music Magpie aren't always the most reliable but their cheap price makes them very worthwhile, plus you can often get 20% voucher codes (sadly, not at the moment). I bought a ton of Owen records from them a few weeks back for about £8-9 each.

Woke up, checked it, and finally just pulled the trigger. I am ASTOUNDED at how quickly these have sold, but stoked for PV. They're a good company and deserve that kind of business.
