The FOO FIGHTERS have launched an animated music video for their new track “Chasing Birds“, taken from their tenth studio album Medicine At Midnight, which came out on February 5th via Roswell Records/RCA Records. Make sure to check out the new video below.

Dave Grohl previously told SiriusXM‘s Alt Nation about the Medicine At Midnight musical approach: “It’s our 10th album, and it’s our 25th anniversary. We’re. like, okay, let’s look back at all the stuff that we’ve done before.

We’ve made that loud sort of noisy punk rock fast stuff. We’ve made the sleepy acoustic kind of gentle acoustic record stuff. We’ve done the three- or four-minute-long bubblegum rock and roll, pop, single thing before. And it was, like, well, what haven’t we done? And we had never really made a groove-oriented sort of party record.

It’s hard to put the words ‘dance’ or ‘funk’ or ‘disco’ in the same sentence as the FOO FIGHTERS; it scares the sh*t out of me. But all of us grew up loving rock and roll records that you could like bounce around to, like THE CARS. Like, oh my God, we love THE CARS. Or David Bowie‘s Let’s Dance. Or POWER STATION. Or THE [ROLLINGSTONES‘ Tattoo You — things like that. We’re, like, ‘All right. We’ve never really explored that territory before. Let’s do it.

We’re lucky in that everybody in the band has diverse influences and everybody loves different kinds of music, but I honestly think we’re capable of doing almost anything,” he added. “So if we put our minds to it, we can kind of chameleon and turn into a death metal band, or we could be like THE CARPENTERS. So we just have to come together and make the decision, like, ‘All right, which way do we wanna go? Which way are we gonna turn the wheel?’ And this time we did it to make this party record.
