“Well… looks like the cats out of the bag…” posted the Foo Fighters. That’s right, the band has officially confirmed the details of their 8th studio album to coincide with Dave Grohl’s new HBO series.
The album is currently untitled, and is set to be released in the fall. The HBO series will doucment the band as they record the album in various lengendary studios across the United States. The band had sessions in Chicago, Austin, Nashville, Los Angeles, Seattle, New Orleans, Washington DC and New York.
The press release stated,
“One song was recorded in each city, every song featuring local legends sitting in, and every lyric written in an unprecedented experimental style: Dave held off on putting down words until the last day of each session, so as to be inspired by the experiences, interviews and personalities that became part of the process.
Each episode delves into the singular regional identity of each city-how each region shaped these musicians in their formative years, and in turn the impact those people had on the cultural fabric of their hometowns-ultimately celebrating their common bond: Every artist that appears in the show, regardless of genre or locale, started as an average kid with the universal dreams of making music and making it big.”
More details concerning the album will be revealed soon. Fingers crossed for a tour!
