Medicine at Midnight


Foo Fighters


“I guarantee that most musicians have that
groove or that vibe somewhere within them,”
Foo Fighters’ David Grohl tells Apple Music
about the funk and disco motifs permeating
the rock band’s 10th studio album. “They just
may have never found the right time or place
to let it out.”

FIVE FACTS:



  1. Acts that have influenced the party rock
    feel of the album include ABBA, Prince and
    David Bowie.

  2. Several of the album’s tracks include
    percussion from legendary drummer Omar
    Hakim, who had previously played drums on
    David Bowie’s 1983 hit album Let’s Dance.

  3. “I’m a drummer,” Grohl has emphasized,
    adding: “I explained one time to Pharrell:
    ‘If you listen to Nevermind, those are disco
    beats, dude.’”

  4. Nevermind is the first album to which
    Grohl contributed drumming as a member of
    the rock band Nirvana.

  5. Grohl has further explained the rationale
    behind Foo Fighters’ change of musical
    direction: “In some sort of attempt at
    longevity, you just have to be able to reach
    out and try things you’ve never done before.”
