Failure have revealed details on their upcoming seventh studio album ‘Location Lost’, a nine-track effort set for release April 24th through the band’s own Failure Records alongside Virgin Music Group imprint Arduous Records.
The record includes a guest contribution from Paramore vocalist Hayley Williams, who appears on the song “The Rising Skyline.” Williams — a longtime admirer of the band — previously joined frontman Ken Andrews onstage last year for a performance of “Daylight,” and her band has covered several Failure tracks over the years.
Discussing the direction of the album, bassist Greg Edwards noted:
“It’s very different. There are sounds and parts that really don’t have any precedence within the Failure world.”
The group have also rolled out the first preview of the record in the form of new single “The Air’s On Fire.” The track draws from Andrews’ experience recovering from serious back surgery — an ordeal that heavily shaped its lyrical perspective. Reflecting on the moment behind the song, he shared:
“That song is directly about my surgery and waking up. I basically coded. Everything was spinning. I kept saying, ‘Turn the air on. I’m fine—just take me home.’ I was definitely not fine.”
A video directed by Sean Stout has been released alongside the single.
