Beloved emo-aligned indie unit American Football are looking back to their very beginnings with a new release. Titled Year One Demos, the EP captures the "first proper set of demos the band ever made."

The four-track release will arrive on 12-inch vinyl and digitally on December 13 via Polyvinyl.

The announcement comes as American Football celebrate the 20th anniversary of their 1999 debut album on Saturday (September 14). Back in 2016, the so-called American Football (LP 1) also received an expanded reissue.

For Year One Demos, the tracks have been newly mastered and all four are previously unreleased instrumentals. Pre-order the release here.

American Football last released their album American Football (LP 3) in 2016, effectively ending a 17-year hiatus.

Year One Demos:

1. Five Silent Miles (Demo)
2. Song #1 / Song #2 (Demo)

3. The Summer Ends (Demo)

4. For Sure (Demo)
