Foo Fighters are teasing a new album. The band’s new website looks like a bedroom wall covered in posters, which you can click on to hear snippets of new songs. Here’s everything we know so far.
When did Foo Fighters start dropping hints of a new album?
Before unveiling their new website, the band posted some Instagram reels teasing new music. Then, their homepage was designed to look like a bedroom with a guitar in the corner, dirty clothes on the floor, stacks of CDs, and Foo Fighters posters. When clicked on, the posters play a 10-second clip of as-yet-unreleased songs.
What do the songs sound like?
The previews are too short to really tell, but there are 11 different ones. A few of them feature vocals, some shoutier and less intelligible than others: one finds Grohl repeating the line “Turn the cameras off,” while another has him saying, “Lately I don’t hear the sound.” Some are more frenetic, others more melodic; some sound like intros, others more like a bridge. A hook or two might even be a glimpse of a chorus.
Has the album been officially announced?
Not yet, so we have to say that the previews are presumably from a new record. Foo Fighters’ last LP was 2023’s But Here We Are, and a new album seemed to be on the horizon, given that they’re soon to embark on a stadium tour with support from Queens of the Stone Age, Mannequin Pussy, and Gouge Away.
Have Foo Fighters released any full songs?
The band dropped a couple of singles last year: ‘Today’s Song’ and ‘Asking for a Friend’. We can’t be sure yet if they’ll be included on the album.
Who’s the drummer on the new album?
The upcoming album will be Foo Fighters’ first with new drummer Ilan Rubin, who can be seen in one of the photographs on the website. He joined the band after leaving Nine Inch Nails, who hired Josh Freese, the drummer Foo Fighters had just fired.
