Summary: <p style="text-align: center; margin: 15px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; line-height: 21px; vertical-align: baseline;"><font size="2">Back in January, <a href="http://www.digmeoutpodcast.com/post/109310952501/kellii-scott" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px .15em; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; text-decoration: none; background-position: 0px 1.15em; background-repeat: repeat-x;">Kellii Scott of Failure joined us</a> to discuss the reunion of his band, his career in music, and their in-progress recordings. Eight months later, the album has been released, so it’s the perfect time to have Kellii back on to talk about <a href="http://www.failureband.com/" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px .15em; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; text-decoration: none; background-position: 0px 1.15em; background-repeat: repeat-x;">Failure</a>’s new album, their fourth overall and first in nineteen years, The Heart Is A Monster. To help us do so, we’re rejoined by our old friend Keith Jenkins, who revisited Fantastic Planet with us way back on <a href="http://www.digmeoutpodcast.com/post/47306360199/episode-12-we-review-fantastic-planet-by" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px .15em; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; text-decoration: none; background-position: 0px 1.15em; background-repeat: repeat-x;">episode #12</a>. We talk writing, recording, mixing and touring the new album, plus learn more interesting anecdotes from Kellii, like auditioning for Queens of the Stone Age and why he’ll never be on a Desert Sessions recording (hint: it’s too hot), how the democratic process influences his preferred number of band members, what’s the best tank-driving song on THIAM, what a Pledge campaign is really like for bands, how softer is sometimes better when recording drums, why it’s good to have an app on your phone to order food in the studio, and much, much more. Grab a beverage and a snack, and plant yourself in a comfortable chair for this two-plus hour in-depth discussion.</font></p><p style="text-align: center; margin: 15px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; line-height: 21px; vertical-align: baseline;"><font size="2">Songs in this episode:</font></p><font size="2"></font><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit;">Intro - The Focus</span></div><span style="font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit;"></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit;">19:42 - Hot Traveler</span></div><span style="font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit;"></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit;">36:33 - A.M.
