American rock band Foo Fighters released their tenth studio album “Medicine At Midnight” on February 5, 2021.
The album is their first LP in four years. Originally scheduled for 2020, but it was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The album comprises of 9-track including preceding singles “Shame Shame”, “No Son of Mine” and “Waiting on a War”, produced by Greg Kurstin, who is better known as a producer for Beyoncé, Adele, Sia and Pink.
The band planned to make the album to celebrate their 25th anniversary since starting band in 1995.
Frontman Dave Grohl told NPR music about the album, “I took a look back at all of the work that we've done over the last 25 years. So, we've done things that are kind of loud and dissonant and distorted and hard rock or punk rock. But we've also done things that were acoustic and orchestrated and much more gentle, and everything in-between. And, you know, the one thing that I realized we had never done was, like, an uptempo, sorta boogie-rock party album. I thought, 'Instead of making some acoustic record, where we're riding off into the sunset of our career as, you know, distinguished gentlemen of rock and roll.' It was like, 'No, no, no, let's open a bottle and let's get down!'”.- LDpv5Xay63A
He continued, “And when the two (Dave Grohl and producer Greg Kurstin) of us worked together, there's not only this sort of mutual friendship or appreciation, but we seem to bond somewhere in the middle — between his technique and my ragged, rock-and-roll heart. ... I imagined an arena or a stadium full of people dancing to this music and singing these big choruses. And I would close my eyes and think, 'This is perfect. This is going to work. This is going to set the festivals on fire, man!'”
