“Failed Entertainment” documents the work, both personal and creative, undertaken since the release of “Paramount,” a period of time marked by as many difficulties as successes. Stith said, “I’ve asked myself ‘Why have I done this?’ and ‘Why do I continue to do this?’ more times in the last two years than the rest of my life combined.” Those eternal, existential questions form the thematic foundation of the new songs, which look past the superficial concerns about status and popularity that preoccupy so many musicians, focusing instead on life’s inevitable, inescapable problems and the ways in which they can be compounded by the banal realities of art-making — the isolation of being on tour, the pressure of being expected to somehow transform that universal angst into nice, catchy songs that provide simple lessons. What finally emerges is nothing less than Fury’s take on the human experience, an attempt to describe every person’s life and how it interacts with others through unmatched highs, desperate lows, and mundane middles. Though the idea that the human experience is something that can be understood and labeled is either right on the nose or too grandiose. But to Stith, the goal was to fit every last drop of humanity in between the grooves of the record, and that’s where the success and failure of this entertainment lies. “I’ll never be able to communicate every single thought and feeling,” says Stith “, a Failed Entertainment.” #fury #furyhc #failedentertainment #runforcover #runforcoverrecords #vinyladdict #vinylcollective #preorderedition #vinylgram #vinyllover #vinylclub #vinyladdict #vinylnerd #recordlove #recordcollection #recordcollector #luckystrike #vinylcollective #recordlove #nowspinning #hardcorevinyl #hardcoremusic #arecordaday #recordlover #adayarecord #grindpromotionrecords (presso Bassano del Grappa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUUdqLroxe4/?utm_medium=tumblr
