Foo Fighters have announced the details of their 11th studio album. It’s going to be called But Here We Are, and will be the band’s first music since the passing of their drummer Taylor Hawkins last year. It will be released on June 2nd via Roswell Records/Columbia Records, and is set to be an emotional, tumultuous and spellbinding experience.
The artwork for the record looks like this:
And the tracklisting like this:
01. “Rescued”
02. “Under You”
03. “Hearing Voices”
04. “But Here We Are”
05. “The Glass”
06. “Nothing At All”
07. “Show Me How”
08. “Beyond Me”
09. “The Teacher”
10. “Rest”
The opening track, “Rescued” is out right now, and is as gripping an introduction as you could expect. A classic slice of Foo Fighters’ earnest rock and roll, with plenty of tear-stained sentimentalities and beautifully affecting heart and soul-tugging for good measure, it’s an incredible reaction to such tragedy. If this is how things begin, then the rest of the record is set to be a rollercoaster.
You can pre-order the record right now from right here.
