Alternative Press said the new album “is not only a stark reminder of why the band have been so influential but it also underscores their status as modern trailblazers.” Rolling Stone described The Heart Is A Monster as “a sprawling, 18 track voyage that… brilliantly picks up from where Fantastic Planet left off” and Kerrang echoes that sentiment, also declaring the 18-track release “a brilliant record” and adding “it’s also a victory they’ve fought hard for.”

The band kicks off a lengthy summer tour with a June 30 in-store at Amoeba Hollywood, other stops include Milwaukee’s Summerfest and ant the Ottawa Bluesfest.  The band joins Hum for a handful of co-headlining dates in mid-August.

Pre-orders for The Heart Is A Monster are available now via iTunes and include a pair of instant downloads: “Hot Traveler” and “Mulholland Dr.” (https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-heart-is-a-monster/id989008661).  The album is also available via Pledgemusic.com/Failure and Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Heart-Monster-2-LP/dp/B00WXFTS3U/ref=tmm_vnl_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=&qid=).
