The 2017 release from Dave Grohl and his Foos, and their first studio album in three years. "I wanted it to be 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... or something like that." So speaks Grohl of the mission statement made manifest in Foo Fighters' ninth epic, the aptly-titled Concrete and Gold. The album was produced by Greg Kurstin and the band, and mixed by Darrell Thorp. Initial writing sessions only involved Grohl, who continued his seclusion from the band, although he initially struggled, feeling "out of practice" and "creatively atrophied" due to his longer than usual break from music. After twelve or thirteen rough ideas were mapped out, he ran them by the band, who shared Grohl's belief that he was on the right track with the material.
