It’s Friday, which means a new episode of Foo Fighters‘ HBO documentary Sonic Highways (chronicling the making of their album of the same name) will air tonight.
And with it comes a brand new Foos’ track, “Congregation,” the best song we’ve heard from the new album so far. Featuring Zac Brown, this track was recorded in Nashville’s Southern Ground studio and inspired by the city’s musical history. Each song on Sonic Highways was recorded in/inspired by a different city with a rich musical history.
