Sonic Highways is the eighth studio album by the American rock band Foo Fighters. It was produced by Butch Vig and was released on November 10, 2014, on RCA Records.
Sonic Highways is a 2014 American documentary miniseries directed by Dave Grohl and written by Mark Monroe. The documentary was made concurrently with Foo Fighters' eighth album, Sonic Highways, and was broadcast on HBO. Grohl described the project as "a love letter to the history of American music". Each of the eight episodes is presented as an exploration of the musical history of a different American city through a series of interviews by Grohl.
While most of 'Sonic Highways' pushes the pulse, late album track 'Subterranean' offers a more contemplative Foo Fighters. Launching with dreamy sounding acoustic guitars and a vibe more attune to special guest Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie, 'Subterranean' is strum-along goodness and a little bit of a curveball.
Sonic Highways is the name of both the Foo Fighters' eighth record and an accompanying HBO series documenting its cross-country production process, wherein the band recorded each of its eight songs in a different city.
