According to the press release, “hard rock extremes and pop sensibilities collide” on Concrete and Gold, the result of Foo Fighters’ collaboration with producer Greg Kurstin, who is best known for his work with Adele, Sia, and Pink.  It was Kurstin’s own band, The Bird & The Bee, that first caught Dave Grohl’s attention. “It blew my mind,” he says of The Bird & The Bee’s song “Again and Again”. “It was so much more sophisticated than anything I’d ever heard and I became obsessed.”
Under Kurstin’s guidance, Grohl and co. set out to make out “the biggest sounding Foo Fighters record ever. To make a gigantic rock record but with Greg Kurstin’s sense of melody and arrangement… Motorhead’s version of Sgt. Pepper’s… or something like that,” Grohl explains.

Foo Fighters previously previewed the album with the roaring lead single, “Run”, along with an incredible video self-directed by Grohl.

In support of Concrete and Gold, Foo Fighters will stage their own one-day music festival, CAL JAM 17, featuring performances from Queens of the Stone Age, Liam Gallagher, The Kills, Cage the Elephant, and more. They’ve also announced an extensive US tour stretching from October to December.
