The Foo

It looks as though Foo Fighters could be back to true form. As reported earlier, they used the same producer they used on "Colour And The Shape" on the new album (Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace) they're dropping next month. And the new single (Pretender) sounds great. Oh and now they've done a cool cover of Arcade Fire's "Keep The Car Running" ...

Before kicking into "Keep The Car Running," Dave says:

I chose this song 'cause I listen to it every morning when I wake up and I figured it'd be a great song to do here 'cause I'm still waking and I figure can't wake up 'til I listen to this song so I might as well play it!

Turns out Mr. Grohl's a big Fire fan (recently telling RS "[Keep The Car Running] is a great fucking song").

The New Foo ...

"It has always been my dream to mix Steely Dan with No Means No," Dave Grohl tells Billboard of the eclectic sound of the sixth Foo Fighters album, tentatively titled "Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace" and due Sept. 25 via RCA. "If anybody is going to do it, I'd love to be that guy."

Indeed, the 12-song set may throw some fans for a loop, as tracks like "Let It Die" and "Erase Replace" make drastic stylistic shifts in a matter of seconds. "There's four-piece rock band sh*t, but then there are songs where the middle sections turn into this mass orchestrated swarm and ridiculous time signatures," Grohl says of the new material.

Track listing follows:

"The Pretender"
"Let It Die"
"Erase Replace"
"Long Road to Ruin"
"Come Alive"
"Stranger Things Have Happened"
"Cheer Up Boys, Your Makeup Is Running"
"Summer's End"
"The Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners"
"Statues"
"But Honestly"
"Home"

Foo Fighters Upcoming Album

The Foo Fighters have signed a new, long-term deal with RCA Records, and the band is returning to the studio this month to begin work on their sixth album. The Foos will work with producer Gil Norton, whose credits include 1997's The Colour And The Shape as well as classic albums by the Pixies, Echo & the Bunnymen and Patti Smith.

Dave Grohl comments, "With all the crazy shit that's gone down in the record business over the last 10 years, it's been a huge comfort to know that the people at RCA have always had our backs. The support and freedom they've given us has been invaluable and I'm glad to have them continuing with us into this band's second decade."

I really hope this album will rock. The last one was disappointing. What were they thinking making a double disc??
