Foo Fighters announce new album
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 21 June 2017
Those Foo Fighters have announced that they will release their ninth album, ‘Concrete An Gold’, on 15 Sep.
“We just spent the last six months secretly making a gigantic new Foo Fighters album with our friend/genius/mastermind Greg Kurstin that will undoubtedly fry stereos from here to Fukuoka”, says Dave Grohl in a blog post. I’m not sure if the secret is that the album is gigantic, that Greg Kurstin produced it, or that it will fry stereos. Grohl said in an interview six months ago that they were going to record a new album, so it’s not that bit.
Anyway, he continues that the album “has more twists and turns than a live senate hearing, like a box of really loud chocolates”.
In a further statement, toning down the bizarre metaphors, Grohl adds: “I wanted it to be the biggest sounding Foo Fighters record ever. To make a gigantic rock record but with Greg Kurstin’s sense of melody and arrangement. Motorhead’s version of ‘Sgt Pepper’, or something like that”.
Here’s the video for the album’s first single ‘Run’, which came out earlier this month:\
