Dave Grohl wrote "Floaty", sang it and played everything on it, guitar, bass and drums, for Foo Fighters, the debut that Roswell and Capitol put out in June 1995. The whole album was a one-man job, cut in six days in 1994 at Robert Lang Studios in Seattle with Barrett Jones producing alongside him.
The former Nirvana drummer said he made it just for fun, a cathartic way of getting over Kurt Cobain's suicide. He handed cassettes of the sessions to friends under the name Foo Fighters so nobody would know it was him, and only when labels came sniffing around did he sign with Capitol and put a band together to play the songs live. Steve Culp engineered "Floaty", and Tom Rothrock and Rob Schnapf mixed it.
