Chris Shiflett (Foo Fighters) will be releasing a new album. titled “Lost At Sea,” on October 20. The effort’s latest single, “Damage Control,” can be found below:

Shiflett commented:

“We wrote a lot of these songs during the lockdown. Then I began making trips to Nashville to work with [producer] Jaren [Johnston]. He and I have a lot of overlap, in terms of the music we like. We made a guitar-centric record that encapsulates everything I’ve been listening to over the years, from the most country songs I’ve ever recorded to punk rock and even songs that sound like a California version of The Clash.”

The track he refrenced was “Damage Control,” which was the only “old” track used for the effort. Shiflett continued:

“All the other tunes were written in the months leading up to recording, but when Jaren and I were sorting out which songs to do he mentioned something about The Clash and I remembered this old one I’d demoed about 15 years prior. I love that the musical inspiration on this one was late-stage Clash but we wound up layering it with banjos and what-not. Definitely takes it somewhere else. Ska-mericana? There’s nothing better than when influences converge taking you places you never expected.”
