Foo Fighters Announce New Album ‘Your Favorite Toy’, Share Gritty Title Track

Foo Fighters have announced their full return and revealed the details of their first new album in three years.

It’s titled ‘Your Favorite Toy’ and will be released on April 24 via Roswell Records/Columbia Records. Recorded at home and co-produced by the band and Oliver Roman, it comprises 10 songs. That tracklisting looks like this:

1. Caught In The Echo
2. Of All People
3. Window
4. Your Favorite Toy
5. If You Only Knew
6. Spit Shine
7. Unconditional
8. Child Actor
9. Amen, Caveman
10. Asking For A Friend

And the artwork looks like this:

The band have also shared the album’s title track, which is a gritty taste of the direction they’re heading right now. Overflowing with reverb and off-kilter rock and roll disco beats, it’s much more of a raw and ready affair than we are used to hearing from the band these days. Throw in some impassioned yelps from Dave Grohl and a whizz-bang of a guitar solo, and you have a song that is sure to fill up plenty of dancefloors when it gets dropped.

Dave had this to say about the song and the effect it had on the rest of the process, explaining, “‘Your Favorite Toy’ really was the key that unlocked the tone and energetic direction of the new album. We stumbled upon it after experimenting with different sounds and dynamics for over a year, and the day it took shape, I knew that we had to follow its lead. It was the fuse to the powder keg of songs we wound up recording for this record. It feels
new.”

The band also released the album’s closer, ‘Asking For A Friend’, late last year, so you can also listen to that right now.

The band will be hitting the road for a UK and European tour this Summer. Those dates look a lot like this.
