"Alternative rock veterans and heavy shoegaze pioneers Failure have announced a new album, Location Lost, due April 24. It was self-produced and one song ("The Rising Skyline") features Hayley Williams, whose band Paramore covered a Failure song on their second release, The Summer Tic EP, 20 years ago. We've got an exclusive opaque silver metallic vinyl vinyl variant that's limited to 500 and up for pre-order in the BV shop now."
"Band member Greg Edwards says the album is "very different" and adds that "there are sounds and parts that really don't have any precedence within the Failure world." You can definitely feel that coming through on lead single "The Air's On Fire," a brooding rock song that sounds like new territory within this band's already-musically-diverse catalog. Check out the song and its Sean Stout-directed video below."
"Vocalist Ken Andrews says the song was written about the serious back injury that he suffered shortly after editing the recent Failure documentary Every Time You Lose Your Mind that required him to get surgery. "I basically coded," he says. "Everything was spinning. I kept saying, 'Turn the air on. I'm fine-just take me home.' I was definitely not fine.""
Failure will release Location Lost on April 24. The self-produced album includes "The Rising Skyline" featuring Hayley Williams. The record is described as very different, with sounds and parts lacking precedent in the Failure world. The lead single "The Air's On Fire" is a brooding rock song exploring new territory. The single was written about a serious back injury that required surgery. Location Lost is the first release on Blaze James' Arduous Records and co-released with Failure Records. A tour starts April 21 in Los Angeles and includes a May 12 New York stop. A limited opaque silver metallic vinyl of 500 copies is available for pre-order.
