Alternative rock band Failure have dropped their new single “Submarines” today.

The song, which can be heard below, stems from the band’s forthcoming studio album Wild Type Droid. Guitarist Greg Edwards said this about the new cut:

“The main riff appeared spontaneously during an endless jam, but ‘Submarines’ sounds like a song we’ve been waiting to write for years. These were the first lyrics written for the record, after the initial wave of Covid confusion and uncertainty. It’s a song about coming back to the surface, putting away your armor, ignoring willful idiocy, and getting back to life after a trauma. We’ve collectively lost our innocence with this plague and we need to fight the reflex to close-up and sink like a stone when risk and threat and fear seem to be everywhere."

Pre-orders for Wild Type Droid, which will arrive on December 3 via Failure Music, can be made here. This will be the follow-up to the band’s 2018 studio album In the Future Your Body Will Be the Furthest Thing from Your Mind.
