Beloved Los Angeles trio Failure<\/strong> \u2014 Ken Andrews<\/strong>, Greg Edwards<\/strong>, and Kelli Scott<\/strong> \u2014 have announced their seventh studio album, Location Lost<\/em>, along with a spring North American tour. The LP marks the fourth release since the band reunited in 2014 following a 17-year hiatus and arrives on April 24 via Failure Records in partnership with Arduous Records and Virgin Music Group.<\/p>\n The nine-track album is led by the first single, “The Air’s on Fire,” which confronts personal and physical struggle head-on. Recorded in the aftermath of the Hulu\/Disney+ documentary Every Time You Lose Your Mind<\/em>, Location Lost<\/em> isn’t a nostalgia trip \u2014 it’s a record of the band actively negotiating their present identity and sonic evolution. Greg Edwards<\/strong> notes: “It’s very different. There are sounds and parts that really don’t have any precedence within the Failure<\/strong> world.”<\/p>\n “The Air’s on Fire” embodies this disorientation and intensity. Shortly after completing the documentary, Ken Andrews<\/strong> suffered a serious back injury that required surgery. While the operation was technically successful, his recovery was grueling.<\/p>\n Andrews<\/strong> explains: “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\u2014just take me home.’ I was definitely not fine.” The track’s oppressive atmospherics and crushing low end reflect that harrowing experience, making it one of the most literal and intense moments in Failure<\/strong>‘s catalogue.<\/p>\n Location Lost<\/em> signals a band not resting on past successes but fully embracing experimentation and emotional honesty. Fans can pre-save and pre-order the album here.<\/p>\n Failure<\/strong> will premiere material from Location Lost<\/em> on their spring headline North American tour, kicking off with an album release show on April 21 at Zebulon in Los Angeles and wrapping in Toronto on May 20.
