I'd never heard her music before but last night I saw her open for Bon Iver. What a gal!, and don't get me started on the music! Amazing!

@Xij29y6 Someone might have had a better answer but the word 'failer' appears in "six o'clock news" .. .. ."She says her baby's a failer and she don't want you calling" Beyond that, I don't know the meaning. . . ..

I don't know much about Kathleen Edwards...but does anyone know the backstory behind her first album? Where did the name "Failer" come from?

@Xij29y6 From 2003 interview: The intentionally misspelled title of the album was also a reflection of her setbacks. "I know it is failure with a U, but why do we put a U in there? When we bail, there's a bailer in my boat, not a bailure. If you fail, are you a failer, too? I just thought it really represented what I had gone through, around the writing of those songs."
2005: "Why can't Failer be a word? Besides, I liked the idea of being such a failure that you can't even get the word right."
