The cover art & track listing for Failure‘s new album “The Heart Is A Monster” has been revealed to the public and you can view it for yourself below. Eighteen songs have been penned for that album, which will meet a June 30th release on INresidence. A free download of the first single “Hot Traveler” is also available now via this location, with pre-orders now up at iTunes with the same free download. You might note that the segues in the below track listing retain continuity with those featured upon the bands last album, 1996’s “Fantastic Planet“. The band said of their writing process:
“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.”
