Dave Grohl and his FOO FIGHTERS released their 7th album,
named WASTING LIGHT on 12 April 2011, today 15 years ago.
The album was recorded in Grohl‘s house in Encino, California. It was made
on only analog equipment and was produced by Garbage drummer and
Nirvana’s Nevermind producer Butch Vig.
The band spent three weeks making sure they could play the songs well before
recording, as no mistakes can be fixed after recording on analog equipment.
Pitchfork said: “Foo Fighters’ long-standing foundation has been built on fist-pumpers.
While Wasting Light features a host of worthy set-openers, few prove to be as sticky or memorable as any number of their previous singles.”
