Sonic Highways is the forthcoming eighth studio album by the American rock band Foo Fighters, scheduled for release on November 10, 2014, through RCA Records. The title, track list and release date were announced on August 11, 2014. The HBO series Sonic Highways and the first single from the album are both scheduled to be released on October 17, 2014.
The vinyl pressings come with a choice of nine other covers, but these alternate covers are only available from pre-ordering the album off of the Foo Fighters official website. The album was produced by Butch Vig, and the eight songs were each recorded in a different US city: Austin, Chicago, Los Angeles, Nashville, New Orleans, New York, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. The alternate vinyl cover arts depict each of these eight different cities.
On January 16, 2014, a picture was posted to the Foo Fighters Facebook page with several master tapes, some labeled "LP 8". On May 15, 2014, it was announced that the band's eighth album would be released in November 2014 and that the Foo Fighters would commemorate the album and their 20th anniversary with an HBO TV series directed by Dave Grohl entitled Sonic Highways. On August 11, 2014, it was announced that the album would be titled Sonic Highways and released on November 10, 2014.
