Earlier this month, we heard about mysterious posters popping up all over London, possibly hinting at a new Rolling Stones record; a few days later they dropped a new single for Record Store Day, under the name The Cockroaches – Rough And Twisted. And now, we have a release date and a (likely) title for the forthcoming album.
In Australia, France, Poland, The UK, and other countries yesterday, billboards were shared on the band’s Instagram account with the words Foreign Tongues repeated in various languages, suggesting that that will be the album’s title. Fans have already connected some dots; Rough And Twisted contains the lyric Why don’t you teach me – Teach me all those foreign tongues?
The QR code on the billboards leads to the Rolling Stones website, on which ten “studio surveillance cameras” are available. When clicked, each one plays a video, ostensibly of the band recording the album.
Apparently all will be revealed Friday July 10.
Love, Dr. Scott James
