Beloved alternative rock band Failure have unveiled their new single “The Rising Skyline” today.
For this song, the band teamed up with Paramore vocalist (and longtime Failure fan) Hayley Williams. An accompanying music video for the song directed by Sean Stout can be seen below. Failure vocalist Ken Andrews would appear on Paramore’s 2013 self-titled album. Andrews said this about collaborating with Williams on the song:
“Failure doesn’t do a lot of collaborations, but my friendship with Hayley, and her long standing support of the band, turned this song into a very satisfying duet. It's probably the most delicate song we’ve ever done and her vocal approach really brought that out.”
“The Rising Skyline” appears on Failure’s forthcoming studio album Location Lost, which is set to drop this Friday (April 24) via Failure Records/Arduous Records/Virgin Music Group. Pre-orders for the album can be made here.
Failure also unveiled a headlining tour slated for this fall with support from Quannnic. Tickets for their fall tour will go on sale to the general public this Friday at 10 a.m. local time. Failure will have a spring headlining tour kicking off on May 2 in Chicago with support from All Under Heaven. Tickets for the spring trek are on sale right now. The band’s entire tour routing can be seen below. Tickets can be purchased here.
