The band continued to exist in the 2000s, playing a few shows and teasing a seventh album, but nothing materialized. Now, 30 years after 1996&#8217;s <em>Notes Campfire<\/em>, it&#8217;s finally coming out.<\/p>\n<p>The new Souled American album is called <em>Sanctions<\/em>. It&#8217;s due in April via Jealous Butcher, and its lead single &#8220;Boom Boom&#8221; is out now. The song is a rootsy dirge that reveals how much these guys influenced Chicago peers like Califone and Wilco.
