Failure, who recently announced the release of their fourth album, The Heart Is A Monster (June 30, IN residence), share the cover art and track list for the 18-song album.
The band is also offering a free download of the single “Hot Traveler”, available here: http://www.unlock.fm/3g2.
Digital and physical pre-orders for the new album are available now with digital pre-orders featuring an instant download of the song “Hot Traveler”: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-heart-is-a-monster/id989008661?ls=1. Physical pre-orders are available via Pledgemusic.com/failure.
Ken Andrews and Greg Edwards explain that their approach to writing and recording Fantastic Planet and The Heart Is A Monster have been similar, saying “The songs on Fantastic Planet appear more or less in the order that we wrote them… when, we do a song now, we write it and record it soup-to-nuts without moving to another song… It takes longer, but it makes more sense for us artistically to explore a song completely before moving on.”
Failure’s SXSW performance, which was the trio’s first live outing since wrapping production on The Heart is A Monster, included the new song “Hot Traveler”, which Entertainment Weekly said “had every bit the sonic thickness, rhythmic thump, and melodic bite as favorites like ‘Another Space Song’ and ‘Heliotropic.’.”
