Dave Grohl Talks New Foo Fighters Album, Band’s Chameleon Abilities
Foo Fighters dropped some massive news this weekend . From what Dave Grohl has to say, this new album is going to sound like nothing else from the Foos’ catalog.
In a new interview with NME, Grohl said, “A lot of our favorite records have these big grooves and riffs. I hate to call it a funk or dance record, but it’s more energetic in a lot of ways than anything we’ve ever done and it was really designed to be that Saturday night party album.”
He continued, “It was written and sequenced in a way that you put on, and nine songs later you’ll just put it on again. Y’know, songs like ‘Making A Fire’. To me, that’s rooted in Sly & The Family Stone grooves, but amplified in the way that the Foo Fighters do it.
Grohl infamously said in a May interview with Consequence of Sound how the Foo Fighters’ tenth studio album would be He detailed that explanation further to NME saying, “Then there’s [the song] ‘Medicine At Midnight’, that’s our David Bowie‘s ‘Let’s Dance’. It’s a huge f—ing rock song that I imagine opening every festival from here to Melbourne! Every song is a little bit different but they all have something that feels fresh and I like it!”
Grohl, ever the busy frontman, Dave Grohl says fans of @foofighters can expect their 10th album to be unlike anything the band has done before. 👀 Hear the full interview on @altnation: https://t.co/ragH9tYtkb pic.twitter.com/C8PUxlIlZu
