Which producer worked with Foo Fighters on their 2017 album Concrete and Gold?
Answer
Greg Kurstin
Answer
Greg Kurstin
Greg Kurstin worked with Foo Fighters as producer on their 2017 album Concrete and Gold.
Concrete and Gold is Foo Fighters’ ninth studio album and was released on September 15, 2017. It was the band’s first album produced alongside Kurstin, who was better known for pop and indie-pop work than for heavy rock. The collaboration was therefore an intentional contrast: the band wanted hard-rock impact combined with more polished, expansive production.
Dave Grohl had admired Kurstin’s work with the indie-pop duo The Bird and the Bee. Kurstin had also produced songs for artists including Adele, Sia, and Halsey. Both musicians treated the project as a creative challenge: Kurstin had not previously made a heavy Foo Fighters-style rock album, while Grohl had not worked with a producer from that pop-oriented background.
The sessions took place at EastWest Studios in Los Angeles. The album also features notable guests, including Justin Timberlake, Paul McCartney, Shawn Stockman, Alison Mosshart, and Inara George. Steve Albini, Adam Kasper, and Gil Norton are associated with other Foo Fighters projects, but none is the credited producer sought by this question.
