Having first released it to their backers on Pledgemusic.com, Failure have now begun streaming their new song “Mulholland Dr.” to the public at large. Rollingstone.com premiered the song, of which frontman/guitarist Ken Andrews told them:
“To me, “Mulholland Dr.” is kind of the sister song to “The Nurse Who Loved Me” on Fantastic Planet. It was a fairly intact demo that Greg brought in, and it stuck out to me as something I could really sink my teeth into, in terms of producing and singing on it. With a lot of our songs, it’s not that easy to track what our direct influences are, but that one is not one of those songs. Someone was even yelling out in the crowd the other night, “Play that Pink Floyd Beatles song!” It’s also late-Sixties Beach Boys, too. It’s really that triangle of awesomeness, basically. And then, production-wise, there’s a little bit of Flaming Lips in there; some of the drums are in homage to the stuff Steven [Drozd] did in the Lips.”
The song will appear on the bands new album “The Heart Is A Monster“, out June 30th on INresidence. As an added bonus check out the below footage of the band performing another new song, “Counterfeit Sky“, during a gig in London, England last month.
