“I wanted it to be the biggest sounding Foo Fighters record ever. To make agigantic rock record but with Greg Kurstin’s sense of melody andarrangement… Motorhead’s version of Sgt. Pepper… or something like that.”
So speaks Dave Grohl of the mission statement made manifest in FooFighters’ ninth epic, the aptly titled Concrete and Gold, due out September 15worldwide on Roswell Records/RCA Records and available for preorder now.
Just as Foo Fighters’ anthem of the summer “Run”“opens as a dreamy, slowburner then… quickly turns heavy as thunder” (BILLBOARD) with its “hugetriumphant chorus” (STEREOGUM), Concrete and Gold marries some of the mostinsanely heavy FF riffs ever with lush harmonic complexities courtesy of afirst time team-up with producer Greg Kurstin (Adele, Sia, Pink).
This unlikely alliance came about through a bizarre sequence of surprisemusical obsessions and chance encounters: Listening to the radio during adrive roughly four years ago, Grohl first heard “Again and Again” by Kurstin’sband The Bird & The Bee—“It blew my mind… it was so much moresophisticated than anything I’d ever heard and I became obsessed.”
Some months later, Grohl would randomly spot and fanboy out over “the guyfrom The Bird & The Bee!” a/k/a Greg Kurstin. The two became fast friendsover common musical loves with Grohl learning that his new favorite bandhad been on hiatus due to Kurstin’s workload as a producer.
While Foo Fighters recorded and released Sonic Highways, broke some bonesand packed stadiums and arenas on one of the top five grossing tours of2015, and gifted fans with the St. Cecilia EP, "Greg was becoming one of thebiggest producers in the world,” Grohl recalls.
With the writing and recording of the next Foo Fighters album on thehorizon, Grohl was eager as always to find fresh challenges for the band: “So Ithink maybe Greg is the guy that we ask to be our producer because he’snever made a heavy rock record before and we’ve never worked with a popproducer.” Darrel Thorp (Beck, Radiohead) was soon enlisted to mix andengineer. This collective conceived a blueprint of the new record as"Motorhead’s version of Sgt. Pepper... or something like that,” secretly bookinginto Hollywood’s esteemed EastWest studios to consummate this marriage ofextremes... or as Grohl puts it: “Our noise and Greg’s big brain and all of hissophisticated arrangements and composition.”
Months, sounds and stories (more on those soon, promise) and so manyguitars later, the 11-Grammy-winning, 25+ million-record-selling, last greatAmerican stadium rock band had completed its most ambitious albumever—which naturally begat another insane challenge: How to celebratemusic & throw the ultimate "backyard party for 50,000 people”…
What came to Grohl in that vision will become reality October 7 when FooFighters’ CAL JAM 17 takes over Glen Helen Regional Park in San Bernardino,CA. In addition to being Foo Fighters’ biggest ever one-day U.S. headline, inthe spirit of the original California Jam, this daylong marathon of eating,drinking and rocking features an absolutely unfuckwithable lineup: Queens ofthe Stone Age, Cage The Elephant, Liam Gallagher, The Kills, Royal Blood,Japandroids, Wolf Alice, Bob Mould, The Struts, Bully, Circa Waves, Babes inToyland, Adia Victoria, Fireball Ministry, The Obsessed, Pinky Pinky,Starcrawler, White Reaper… And in addition to 12 hours of rock and roll goodtimes, Cal Jam 17 offers camping, carnival rides, a water park, attractions, amobile recording studio & so much more.
