New Foo Fighters album 'sounds massive'

Dave Grohl has revealed that the Foo Fighters latest album has been completed.

The frontman told BBC Radio 1 that the as-yet-untitled follow-up to 2007's Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace would be out this spring.

Grohl said: "There's 11 songs and front to back there's not one sleepy ballad.

"[Producer] Butch [Vig] swears that he's had more fun making this record than any other record than he's made in his life - that's a lot of records."

The record marks the first time Grohl has collaborated with Vig since he produced Nirvana's 1991 breakthrough album Nevermind.

Grohl added: "The process was so simple. It was really in my garage. You could put a mini van in there and that's it.

"The fact that we did it without any computers it was just really simple. It just sounds massive. It's different to any other Foo Fighters album because it just sounds big. It was really inspiring."

He continued: "I don't even know what the single is going to be. It's hard to choose because it sounds like there's more than one.

"We entered into this project with a direction. The first song we started recording the tape just started shredding."

Grohl recently reunited with surviving former Nirvana bandmate Krist Novoselic at a live show.
