The new album from Foo Fighters is well on its way to completion, according to producer Butch Vig.

Vig, working on the album with fellow producing legend Steve Albini, told Kerrang that the band had been experimenting with new recording techniques.

Vig said: “We’ve been recording at some different locations, but we’re almost halfway done with the recording and it’s going well.

“It sounds different – we’ve thrown a few things into the mix, in the recording process, that are going to give the record a different sound and a different feel. It’s been a challenge, but it’s also been exciting.”

Singer Dave Grohl told BBC Radio 1 about the follow-up to 2011’s Wasting Light: “I know what it sounds like and I honestly think the entire concept is really going to take people by surprise and it sounds nuts.”
