After months of cryptic images, weeks of secret west-coast shows playing the full album front-to-back, and incalculable hours of foaming at the mouth on my part, we finally have all the details surrounding the seventh full length album by the Foo Fighters.
The album will be titled Wasting Light, and will be out April 12. As previously reported, the first official single is “Rope”, and it’ll hit radio stations next week. If you’re one of those ethical types who want to wait to purchase the song, you can do that through all the major digital outlets a week later on March 1, when pre-orders for Wasting Light commence. In the meantime, you can also check out the video for album track “White Limo” featuring Lemmy Kilmister, which I posted during my Grammys liveblog, but didn’t get to say much about.
The track is certainly a far cry from what we heard on Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace. The first thing I likened it to was “FFL”, one of the B-sides from In Your Honor. I was among the folks who actually enjoyed the Foos exploration of a softer sound, but I’m just as glad to see them going full-out again. And a guest appearance by Lemmy? Done and done.
Like I’ve said, it wasn’t going to take much to get me excited for new Foo Fighters activity, but by God, April 12 can’t come soon enough.
