ABC/Randy HolmesFall Out Boy is giving you a peek behind the M A N I A curtain with a trio of demos for songs that didn’t make the final album.
“When we pushed the record back, we felt like we wanted to thank everybody for being patient,” explains bassist Pete Wentz. “So these are three demos we scrapped that will never be finished.”
“The intention is to share where the songs ended,” he adds. “These won’t end up on an album. Consider them little sketches.”
The demos, the longest of which is only 98 seconds, are titled “Past Life,” “Footprints in the Snow” and “Wrong Side of Paradise.” They’re streaming online via a YouTube account titled Frosty & the Nightmare Making Machine, a reference to the M A N I A song “Stay Frosty Royal Milk Tea.”
Fall Out Boy will embark on a North American tour in support of M A N I A in August.
