At last, modern classic-rock champions and part-time lawyers the Foo Fighters have debuted the single “Something From Nothing,” the first offering from their forthcoming album Sonic Highways. Listen to the track, a downtempo jam featuring Cheap Trick’s Rick Nielsen that builds a steady rhythm to a full screaming rocker with a funk-bass run below.
Foo Fighters New Album: What We Know So Far
The Foos’ Sonic Highways album will be released on November 10, accompanied by an eight part documentary, both of which feature a barrage of famous faces from the music world. Musicians included on the recordings are Gary Clark Jr., Eagles’ Joe Walsh, and Cheap Trick’s Rick Nielsen, 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.
Tracklist:
- Something From Nothing
- The Feast and The Famine
