It’s been quite the summer for the Foo Fighters, the guys have been keeping busy being “on call” at every music festival in Europe, well maybe not every single festival, but at least at the ones which are worth mentioning. Apparently, these guys just love to sing, and since their latest album, “Wasting Light” topped the charts being number 1 in 11 countries, I thinks it’s safe to say that the Foo Fighters are good at what they do!
Now that the summer is almost over, and the festivals are coming to an end, the band took fans by surprise announcing that they will release a new single. The song chosen for this release is the lucky number three track from their massive selling album, “Wasting Light”.
Now,if you don’t already know the tracklist by heart and you’re wondering which was the third track, rest assure cause we’re here to tell you that the Foo Fighters’ new single is titled “Arlandria”. Go ahead, say it with us: Ardlandlandira, Arrrlandria, you gotta get a lot of practice at saying it, cause from what we can tell, the song is going to be an instant hit.
The Foos probably chose “Arlandria” due to the extremely positive results they had when performing it on the numerous concert stages they’ve been on this summer. The track is practically a showcase for their flexibility and it’s proven itself as a favorite along side the band’s previous releases, “Rope” and “Walk”.
When it comes to bringing new material to the music industry, the Foo Fighters like to keep it in the family, sort to speak, and by that I mean that they pretty much handle everything themselves. It might be surprising to find out that “Wasting Light” was entirely recorded on an analog tape, in the most elaborate and complex studio ever, namely… drummer Dave Grohl’s garage (if you’re not as amazed to hear that as I am, then you’re probably used to the conventional sound of a garage-recorded track).
The production part is where Butch Vig came in, he has been handling the production part for the Foos since 2009 when they released “Wheels”, one of the tracks included on their “Greatest Hits” album.
The official release of “Arlandria” is set for September 5th, 2011 so all of you Foo Fighters fans who were waiting for a new single to collect, be sure not to miss this one, cause it’s a winner (and trust us, we have a nose for hits).
