With their album I’ll Be Yours due for release in just over a week, The Americans share the new single “I’ll Be Yours” – the title track from the album – with The Line Of Best Fit, who made it their Song of the Day saying, “The Americans eschew formal plans and genre conventions in favour of forging their own path, with this new single lurching into sunny realms to live as symphonic beaut full of twinkles, sparks, cinematic brass, and Beirut-level emotion.”
Mixing old-time blues and country with a blue-collar rock’n’roll/rockabilly vibe, The Americans absorb and reconfigure the history of American music from Chuck Berry and Tom Waits to Bruce Springsteen. The album will be one of the albums of the month at Rough Trade shops for July.

T-Bone Burnett describes The Americans as “Genius twenty-first century musicians that are reinventing American heritage music for this century.” Reviewing the band’s latest single “The Right Stuff” for Pitchfork, Greil Marcus writes, “From the first rolling guitar notes, carrying sadness and defiance like dust, this sweeps me up: I want to know everything about where that feeling came from, and where it’s going.”
