FOO FIGHTERS To Release 'Sonic Highways' Album In November; Details Revealed

August 11, 2014

FOO FIGHTERS has confirmed the worldwide release date of the band's long-awaited follow-up to the four-time-Grammy-winning, international No. 1 "Wasting Light". The band's eighth studio CD of all-new material will be titled "Sonic Highways" and will be released globally on Monday, November 10.

The cover art of "Sonic Highways" has also been unveiled along with a first taste of some of the new music at FooFighters.com.

Additionally, sonichighways.foofighters.com is now accepting pre-orders for the "Sonic Highways" CD and 180-gram vinyl LP. 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.

sonichighways.foofighters.com will be the only place where fans can order the specific cover — or covers — of their choosing. An array of limited-edition bundles featuring exclusive collectibles will also be available.

Produced by Butch Vig and FOO FIGHTERS and being released in the U.S. on Roswell/RCA, "Sonic Highways" clocks in at just over 44 minutes and is made up of the following tracks:

01. Something From Nothing
02. The Feast and The Famine
03. Congregation
04. What Did I Do?/God As My Witness
05. Outside
06. In The Clear
07. Subterranean
08. I Am A River

Though not a soundtrack album by any stretch, "Sonic Highways" shares its title with the Dave Grohl-directed eight-episode HBO series described by Grohl as a love letter to the history of American music and premiering Friday, October 17 at 11 p.m. For the album and series, Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear wrote and recorded one song in each of these eight cities, delving into the local musical currents: 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. All songs feature local legends sitting in, with 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 for the HBO series, and other local personalities who became part of the process.
