Foo Fightersâ eagerly awaited, hard-fought and already universally acclaimed new album, But Here We Are, is released today, June 2, 2023, on Roswell Records/RCA Records.
A testament to the healing powers of music, friendship and family, But Here We Are has been preceded by an ecstatically received quartet of its songs. These four songs have demonstrated dimensions of sound and emotion that hint at the range and depth of this phenomenal landmark in the Foo Fighters canon. First single âRescuedâ with its âfresh sense of pathos and urgencyâ (The New York Times), “a gruff, melodic rocker with bittersweet hooksâ (Stereogum) in âUnder You,â the “totally unexpected foray into shoegaze and dream-pop territoryâ that was âShow Me How,â and the âpowerful goodbyesâ (SPIN) of the 10-minute âThe Teacherâ all blazed radically diverse yet equally cathartic sonic paths. Now with today’s revelation of the sublimely melodic âThe Glassâ (check out the visualizer HERE), and five more FF instant classics, But Here We Are is finally out in the world.
Produced by Greg Kurstin and Foo Fighters, But Here We Are has received the warmest of welcomesâfrom the capacity crowds already signing along to every word of âRescuedâ and âUnder Youâ during the bandâs triumphant return to the stage, to uniformly enthusiastic early critical reactions to the album and its songs including:
âA brilliant meditation on grief⦠the best Foo Fighters album since the turn of the millennium.â â Consequence
“But Here We Are is a standout⦠quite possibly their best and most meaningful album.â â Goldmine
âDriven by a fresh sense of pathos and urgency.â â The New York Times
âDelivers everything fans have come to know and love about the Foos.â â Revolver
âOne of the most powerful collection of songs in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame outfitâs lengthy catalog⦠But Here We Are is a life raft extended between band and audience alike.. Music has the power to heal, and this is a record for healing.â â Rock Cellar
âOne of the strongest albums of the bandâs career… reckoning with the conundrums of human existence through the sheer power of music.â â SPIN
“Itâs what happens when loud, catchy, radio-friendly rock music is buoyed by tangible passion⦠The singles have been strong â âRescuedâ a proper anthem, âUnder Youâ a Jawbreaker-esque power-pop gem… Foo Fightersâ sadness comes through, but the album is too fleet-footed to be maudlin or morose.” â Stereogum
âA record that channels grief into some of the biggest sounding songs Foo Fighters have ever made.â â Ultimate Classic Rock
âMemorable and meaningfulâ â USA Today
“This leap from the personal to the universal is the essence of Foo Fighters⦠confirms that Mr. Grohlâs instincts about how music can help us process and transcend even our darkest moments are absolutely correct⦠a powerful, melodic work of mourning.â â The Wall Street Journal
