FAILURE-LOCATION LOST (SCORCHED FOG SWIRL VINYL)

With Location Lost, Failure return to the atmospheric alternative rock and post-hardcore weight that has defined the band's post-reunion era, but the album is tied to a specific recovery story rather than nostalgia. Ken Andrews' serious medical ordeal informs the record's subject matter, especially the lead single "The Air's On Fire." This 180g scorched fog swirl vinyl record edition includes a gatefold jacket and album art suited to the release.

"The Air's On Fire" turns Andrews' post-surgery hallucinations into a song about fear, pain, and disorientation, giving the album its most direct personal entry point. "The Rising Skyline" takes a different route, pairing Failure with Hayley Williams for a rare guest vocal that moves from acoustic ballad form into a larger band finish. The contrast between those songs helps place Location Lost between heavy alternative rock, space-rock atmosphere, and the more melodic side of the band's later catalog.

Failure's lineup of Ken Andrews, Greg Edwards, and Kellii Scott remains central to how the album is built: layered guitars, bass pressure, drums that push the songs forward, and vocals that keep the writing grounded in physical and mental strain. The gatefold packaging and scorched fog swirl color give this 180g pressing a defined physical identity for the band's newest studio album.
