Failure Sets April 24 Release for 'Location Lost' and Maps Spring North American Tour

The album channels Ken Andrews’s post-surgery turmoil into new material.

Overview

  • Lead single "The Air's On Fire" is out now with a Sean Stout–directed video, reflecting Andrews’s disorienting recovery after back surgery.
  • Paramore’s Hayley Williams guests on "The Rising Skyline," a largely acoustic breakup track.
  • The nine-track LP arrives via a co-release between Failure Records, Blaze James’s Arduous Records, and Virgin Music Group.
  • Tour dates run from an April 21 album-release show at Zebulon in Los Angeles to a May 20 finale in Toronto, with festival stops at Sick New World and Welcome To Rockville.
  • Recorded after the Hulu/Disney+ documentary Every Time You Lose Your Mind, the band frames the record as a forward-looking statement rather than a nostalgia exercise.
