New Failure album + track 2026-02-17 by CultOfNoise-Steve | 13 Comments | 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.
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.
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.”
Also different for Failure is the label this album is coming out on. Location Lost marks the first release on veteran artist manager Blaze James‘ (Coheed and Cambria, Touché Amoré, etc) new Virgin Music Group imprint Arduous Records, and it’s also a co-release with Failure’s own Failure Records.
Failure have also announced a tour in support of the album, beginning with an album release show on Aril 21 at LA’s Zebulon, which is just a few days before the band plays Sick New World in Vegas. NYC gets a stop on May 12 at Le Poisson Rouge.

Incredibly based band. Song is excellent.

Oooh new Failure! Great news.
Also it sounds like they are going into "epic prog" territory with some big choruses, sort of? Can't wait for the record.

The new label thing explains why the single is available on Spotify.

Umm shoegaze?

It's space grunge folks
| | |
It's alright

Never heard of this band, so this reminds me a bit of Oceansize but with different vocals.
| | |
Instrumentation feels super basic, but I love the vocals; they certainly save the song.

Entrancing! Great to have them back!
