NEWSFLASH: Foo Fighters announce Your Favorite Toy album, out on April 24

Foo Fighters have this afternoon confirmed the April 24 release of Your Favorite Toy, studio album no. 12 from the American band.

Trailing it today is the title-track, which is all distorted vocals and blood and thunder riffs...

“'Your Favorite Toy' really was the key that unlocked the tone and energetic direction of the new album," Dave Grohl reveals. "We stumbled upon it after experimenting with different sounds and dynamics for over a year, and the day it took shape I knew that we had to follow its lead. It was the fuse to the powder keg of songs we wound up recording for this record. It feels new.”

According to the record company, the new song is "nothing short of an insidious earworm. Jagged guitar shards and sinister keyboard stabs bob and weave atop a relentless rhythmic pulse, as Dave Grohl unleashes a newfound sardonic vocal tone on infectious choruses: 'Get back/ Hear that, boy?/ Someone threw away your favorite toy for good/ For good.'"

Recorded at home, the album was co-produced by Foo Fighters and Oliver Roman, engineered by Oliver Roman and mixed by Mark “Spike” Stent, and consists of the following songs:

'Caught In The Echo'
'Of All People'
'Window'
'Your Favorite Toy'
'If You Only Knew'
'Spit Shine'
'Unconditional'
'Child Actor'
'Amen, Caveman'
'Asking For A Friend'
