PO: LIES - Lies (Polyvinyl Records) (Nate and Mike Kinsella project)


Recommended Posts

I think what I dig most about this project so far is that it is undeniably its own thing.  None of these singles sound like they could be featured on a game show of Is It Owen or American Football?  That could be a detractor for some, but I think it’s pretty fresh.  Great art and variants, too.

That's the thing — this was supposed to be American Football LP4! Super-stoked it's not, and that they're letting it be its own thing.

No kidding?

Despite this being great so far, I'm glad this wasn't AF LP4. It definitely deserves to be its own project.

At a very early stage they were planning on it but decided to go a different direction. Unshackled. They didn't actually make these songs as American Football and change the name last minute haha Scott just didn't explain it fully.
