Legendary alt-Rock band Failure released their latest album Wild Type Droid late in 2021 which made into Ghost Cult’s top 75 albums of the year. You can read our review here. The band is teasing a possible run of tour dates in the USA, with an announcement coming soon.
Failure’s sixth album and third since their 2014 comeback is considerably scaled back compared to their previous outings. At just under forty minutes long, Wild Type Droid (Failure Recordings) is their shortest full-length since their debut, 1992’s Comfort, and a far cry from the hour-plus ventures that have come to define them since the classic Fantastic Planet. This setup suggests a more casual approach than usual but instead results in one of their most focused releases to date.
