“Caught In The Echo,” the third song to be released in advance of Foo Fighters’ forthcoming 12th full-length studio album, Your Favorite Toy, is now available across digital platforms.
Following in the turbulent wake of the album’s postpone-tinged banger of a title track — described by THE NEW YORK TIMES as "back-to-basics garage-rock delivered in a welter of noisy guitars” and moving VICE to rave "Unhinged Dave Grohl is my favorite version of Dave Grohl” — “Caught In The Echo” is the instantly combustible opener that sets the tone for the harnessing of the FF live fury that pervades the album. From its opening exhortation of “Do I? Do I? Do I? Do I?” to its closing plea of “Who can save us now?”, “Caught In The Echo” foreshadows the new album’s rough hewn energy with arguably the band’s most explosive opener since Wasting Light’s “Bridge Burning."
Your Favorite Toy will be released April 24th via Roswell Records/RCA Records. Recorded at home, the album was co-produced by Foo Fighters and Oliver Roman, engineered by Oliver Roman and mixed by Mark “Spike” Stent, and consists of the following songs:
- Caught In The Echo
- Of All People
- Window
- Your Favorite Toy
- If You Only Knew
- Spit Shine
- Unconditional
- Child Actor
- Amen, Caveman
- Asking For A Friend
Your Favorite Toy’s release heralds Foo Fighters' massive Take Cover world tour, which just added an already SOLD OUT April 28 show at the Total Mortgage Arena in Bridgeport, CT. For more information on the rock ’n’ roll stadium tour of the summer, go to https://foofighters.lnk.to/ShowsPR
Last but not least, running errands in the San Fernando Valley became a lot more interesting yesterday, as 20 personally burned CDs of “Caught in the Echo,” each featuring individually hand-drawn artwork by Dave and Harper Grohl, were hidden in various locations in the area, ranging from local indie record stores to national grocery, book and pharmacy chains and more.
