American Bully XL LP

Calling a record American Bully XL while aiming for something more spacious and digitally tinged already sounds like a joke, and Font plays it straight anyway. Over three weeks improvising at Dutch Interior's studio in Long Beach, the Austin quartet of Anthony Laurence, Roman Parnell, Thom Waddill, and Jack Owens built eleven tracks, among them 'Bad Faith' and the title cut, pulling as much from Texas touchstones like DJ Screw and Roky Erickson as from anything current. Auto-Tuned vocals land on deconstructed club-track textures instead, a stranger combination than their 2024 debut, Strange Burden, ever attempted.
