Failure share single, announce tour and new studio album with a Hayley Williams feature

Subtly-influential '90s rock group Failure have broken the news of their upcoming album, Location Lost, to be released on April 24 via Failure Records/Arduous/Virgin. It's their first album in half a decade, and boasts Paramore leading lady Hayley Williams on track two, "The Rising Skyline".

The band have shared lead single "The Air's on Fire" today, which you can listen to below.

In 2025, the band were the focus of a Hulu/Disney+ documentary, Every Time You Lose Your Mind, which spanned Failure's career – both their initial run, from 1990 to 1997, and their revival, which began in 2014. Their last album, Wild Type Droid, came out in 2021.

Location Lost is coming on April 24. Preorder here. Tracklist below:

  1. Crash Test Delayed
  2. The Rising Skyline (featuring Hayley Williams)
  3. Solid State
  4. The Air's on Fire
  5. Halo and Grain
