American Football team up with Turnstile's Brendan Yates on new single, "No Feeling"

"No Feeling", produced by Sonny DiPerri (Nine Inch Nails, My Bloody Valentine, Portugal. The Man), follows lead single "Bad Moons" released back in February. On the track, singer and guitarist Mike Kinsella is joined by Yates on harmonies, offering confessional lyricism combined with synths, guitars, and chimes.

Speaking about how the track came together, Kinsella says: "Brendan came into the studio to sing along to a 'gang vocal' call-and-response part I’d written for the chorus of 'No Feeling'. I had imagined his voice would be one of many voices scream-singing it, and was excited for it to be a sort of Easter Egg on the album. But after tracking the original parts, he asked if he could try a higher harmony that he was hearing. As soon as he started singing it, all of our jaws dropped, and we all were looking at each other like 'Oh shit! THAT’S the dude from Turnstile!' His voice is so singular, and once he sang the part in *his* range, it was clear that the part now belonged to him and him alone…"

The song is accompanied by a music video directed by Cady Buche & Travis Barron of Unlimited Time Only (Khruangbin & Leon Bridges’ "Chocolate Hills,” Little Dragon’s "Slugs of Love,” Roosevelt’s "Luna"), of which they explain: "Our goal with music videos is to tell a story that captures what we think and feel while listening to the song. When we listened to 'No Feeling' for the first time, we thought a lot about mysterious places like outer space and the bottom of the ocean—they’re beautiful and they also kind of freak you out.

"The music also brought to mind the idea of going down with the ship or a sense of crushing inevitability. Then we thought, what if you flipped that? What if you opened on a sunken ship and that was the beginning? What if this sunken ship were a thriving habitat for ghosts who live there? What if something came along that jeopardized their beautiful afterlife?"
