Foo Fighters are releasing a 10-track disco album for Record Store Day called ‘Hail Satin’.

Available to buy on vinyl only, ‘Hail Satin’ is released under Foo Fighters’ alter ego The Dee Gees and it boasts four covers of Bee Gees tracks – ‘Night Fever’, ‘Tragedy’, ‘You Should Be Dancing’ and ‘More Than A Woman.’

There’s also a cover of Andy Gibb’s disco song ‘Shadow Dancing’ plus five reworkings of Foo Fighters ‘Medicine at Midnight’ tracks recorded live at their 606 Studio in San Fernando Valley, California.

Announcing the album on social media, Foo Fighters wrote: “Introducing… the Dee Gees!!! Hail Satin – coming to a local record store and dance party near you July 17!!”

Listen to a 16-second snippet of 'You Should Be Dancing':

The limited-edition vinyl will be housed “era-appropriately in a dazzling rainbow mylar sleeve,” and The Dee Gees added: “For optimal results, listen with exposed chest hair and little gold spoon necklace.”

Dave Grohl said he became obsessed with The Bee Gees after watching their acclaimed HBO documentary earlier this year.

The second Record Store Day of 2021 takes place on Saturday 17th July.

On Tuesday night (15th June), Foo Fighters played their first concert since the start of the coronavirus pandemic at the intimate venue The Canyon in Agoura Hills, California.

The 23-song set served as a warm-up for Foo Fighters’ very special concert at New York’s world-famous Madison Square Garden on Sunday (20th June).

The ‘Hail Satin’ track-list is as follows:

1) You Should Be Dancing

2) Night Fever

3) Tragedy

4) Shadow Dancing

5) More Than a Woman

6) Making A Fire

7) Shame Shame

8) Waiting on a War

9) No Son of Mine

10) Cloudspotter
