Failure drops new album “Location Lost” featuring track “The Air’s On Fire” – Stereogum

Failure recently announced the release of their seventh studio album, Location Lost, a highly anticipated addition to their discography following the success of their 2021 album, Wild Type Droid. What makes this new record even more exciting is the collaboration with Hayley Williams of Paramore on a track titled “The Rising Skyline.” According to Failure’s guitarist/bassist Greg Edwards, Location Lost will showcase a departure from their usual sound, incorporating unique elements that set it apart from their previous work.

The inspiration behind the lead single from the album, “The Air’s On Fire,” stems from frontman Ken Andrews’ personal experience with surgery for a back injury. The haunting yet compelling track delves into the surreal moments of waking up from surgery, where Andrews vividly recalls feeling disoriented and panicked. The accompanying music video directed by Sean Stout adds to the eerie atmosphere of the song, creating a visual narrative that complements the music.

The release of Location Lost is not the only exciting news from Failure, as they have also announced a string of tour dates across various cities in the United States. From Los Angeles to New York, fans will have the opportunity to experience Failure’s unique brand of alternative rock live on stage. The band is gearing up for an album release show in Los Angeles followed by appearances at several music festivals and venues throughout the country.

With a tracklist featuring songs like “Crash Test Delayed,” “Solid State,” and “Moonlight Understands,” Location Lost promises to captivate listeners with its diverse range of styles and emotions. Failure’s ability to blend intricate instrumentals with introspective lyrics has garnered them a loyal fan base over the years, and this upcoming album is expected to further solidify their reputation as rock innovators.

Location Lost is set to be released on April 24th through Failure Records/Arduous Records/Virgin Music Group. Fans can pre-order the album to ensure they get a copy as soon as it becomes available.
