Foo Fighters just previewed an album’s worth of songs last week, so if you guessed that meant a new album would be announced soon, you guessed right! The band’s first album since 2023’s invigorated “But Here We Are” and first since Ilan Rubin joined as the new Foos drummer is called “Your Favorite Toy” and it arrives on April 24 via Roswell/RCA. It was “recorded at home,” co-produced by Foo Fighters and Oliver Roman, engineered by Oliver Roman, and mixed by Mark “Spike” Stent. Pre-order the LP or CD in the BV shop.
They also just released the title track, a song that finds the Foo Fighters in fuzzed-out garage rock territory, with Dave Grohl leaning into his love of stuff like The Stooges and The Sonics. It’s pretty undeniably a ripper, and you can check it out below. The album also features last year’s grungy “Asking For A Friend.”
“’Your Favorite Toy’ really was the key that unlocked the tone and energetic direction of the new album,” Dave says. “We stumbled upon it after experimenting with different sounds and dynamics for over a year, and the day it took shape I knew that we had to follow its lead. It was the fuse to the powder keg of songs we wound up recording for this record. It feels new.”
Foo Fighters’ lineup for this album is Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear, Rami Jaffee and Ilan Rubin.
