Look Forward to Failure

The Ataris

Six tracks of earnest, mid-tempo pop punk defined by travel-weary lyrics and a warm, unpolished production that feels like a letter from a friend.

November 23, 1998 · Fat Wreck Chords

Find on Amazon

A restless, travel-weary nostalgia that finds beauty in the mundane and the broken.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition into the bridge of My Hotel Year where the guitars thicken into a wall of melodic distortion.
The vocal strain in That Special Girl that feels like a genuine, unpolished confession.
The driving, melodic bass line in Not a Worry in the World that carries the track's sense of false bravado.
