Jimmy Eat World have rounded up a handful of digital-only singles as well as a new track, “Failure,” for the Something(s) Loud EP, which will be released Nov. 14 in physical form by the band’s Exotic Location Recordings label.
“Failure” was recorded during 2019 sessions for the album Surviving but was ultimately held back from that project. The song was co-produced by the band and Justin Meldal Johnsen, while Failure leader Ken Andrews engineered and mixed. Check out its skateboarding-themed video below.
Something(s) Loud also includes “Something Loud” in both original and acoustic versions, “Place Your Debts” in its maiden form plus a TW Walsh remix and a cover of Crooked Fingers’ “Call to Love” with Best Coast’s Bethany Cosentino.
“By 2021, it felt like distancing restrictions were finally easing and we could get back on the road,” Jimmy Eat World’s Jim Adkins says. “Our Surviving album had barely been released before we were performing live again and reconnecting with fans. Coming out of the pandemic, it didn’t feel right to tour without offering something more, so we took the chance to share a few more tracks we’d been working on. At the time, it seemed like listeners were gravitating toward playlists rather than full albums, so we decided to meet them where they were.”
Although details are scant, Jimmy Eat World are promising “more big plans” in 2026.
