Released
Foo Fighters' new album is their seventh full-length effort, and produced by Nirvana (Nevermind) producer Butch Vig. Ex-Nirvana bandmate of Grohl, Krist Novoselic, plays bass on one song on the record. Grohl has said that the album is the band's "heaviest yet". Produced by Butch Vig and mixed by Alan Moulder, WASTING LIGHT was recorded entirely on analog tape in the garage of Grohl's home in California's San Fernando Valley. The no computers/no software back to basics approach has resulted in arguably the strongest and most cohesive effort of the band's 15-year-plus career. From first single Rope to the frenetic opener Bridge Burning to the beautifully bipolar These Days to stunning guest spots from Bob Mould (Dear Rosemary) and Krist Novoselic (I Should Have Known), WASTING LIGHT is a singular triumph: a band that's headlined arenas, stadiums and festivals the world over stripping itself down to the bare essentials and coming up with a world class band's finest hour.
