Beloved and influential Los Angeles trio Failure – Ken Andrews, Greg Edwards, and Kellii Scott – return with “The Rising Skyline (feat. Hayley Williams),” the latest single from Location Lost, their seventh studio album which is available now, via Failure Records/Arduous Records/Virgin Music Group. The largely acoustic breakup song features Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams, an artist whose longtime public admiration for Failure has unquestionably helped introduce the band to an entirely new generation of listeners. Of working with Williams, who is also featured in the band’s recent Hulu/Disney+ documentary Every Time You Lose Your Mind, Andrews notes: “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.”
