Foo Fighters New Album ‘Sonic Highways’ Set For Nov. 10th Release

The Foo Fighters‘ new album will be called Sonic Highways, and will arrive November 10th in a variety of bundles. Tracklist can be found below, with album art featured at top, cramming several cities into one massive music metropolis. The vinyl album comes in an assortment of nine different covers including eight variants each themed for one of the cities in which the album was recorded: Austin, Chicago, Los Angeles, Nashville, New Orleans, New York, Seattle, and Washington, D.C..

Butch VIg announed via Twitter on June 30th that the next Foos record was completed after 23 days straight of mixing, but all’s been relatively quiet since then, save for some cryptic posts on the main Foo account. 

The band recorded its eight songs in landmark studios located in eight different cities, with famous local guests sitting in on each of them. Musicians included on the recordings are Gary Clark Jr. (Austin), Eagles’ Joe Walsh (Los Angeles), and Cheap Trick’s Rick Nielsen (Chicago), with additional possible appearances from Carrie Underwood, Public Enemy’s Chuck D, and Butthole Surfers’ Gibby Haynes. A HBO mini-series documenting the recording process, called Sonic Highways as well, will accompany the release of the new album as frontman Dave Grohl gets on his directing hat for a second feature after last year’s hugely successful Sound City. Having last dropped new material in 2011 with Wasting Light, Foo Fighters have “reinvented” their recording process, seeking out unique locations across the US. The show will document those travels.

  1. Something From Nothing
  2. The Feast and The Famine
  3. Congregation
  4. What Did I Do?/God As My Witness
