The album’s lead single “Easy Street” arrived last month
Queens of the Stone Age have finally confirmed their upcoming album Perfecth. The all-new LP arrives on October 30 via Matador. To celebrate, the band revealed the record’s second single “Insignificant Other,” which can be streamed below.
“It’s a song about distance,” Josh Homme says of the track. “About how someone can be your entire world only to simply vanish. And about the strange vertigo of being on the receiving end of that.”
Regarding the album, Homme adds, “Every song sounds like it’s from a different world. And that’s on purpose, because it’s trying to stitch together all these emotions revolving around love, lust, foolishness, and the sort of wisdom that comes as a gift from all that.”
Produced by Homme and band member Michael Shuman, Perfecth will be available on CD, Standard Black Vinyl everywhere, on Clear Vinyl at Indie Retailers and as a limited Deluxe Edition — a gatefold LP package which includes handwritten lyrics, stationary, ‘stamps’ housed inside a custom envelope as well as a bespoke piece of art temporarily placed in a custom 10″ pocket — exclusively on the QOTSA and Matador web stores.
Queens of the Stone Age recently wrapped a co-headlining tour with Foo Fighters across North America which made stops in Las Vegas, Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, Edmonton, Vancouver, and more.
Queens of the Stone Age’s latest album In Times New Roman arrived in 2023 via Matador. It was recorded and mixed at frontman Josh Homme’s own Pink Duck, with additional recording at Shangri-La. The album was produced by the band and mixed by Mark Rankin. It is available across all digital platforms, as well as vinyl and CD. Artwork and double LP gatefold packaging was designed by long time collaborator Boneface. The LP vinyl is available globally in standard black, as well as limited edition green, red, silver and blue.
The band recently released their landmark concert film, Alive In the Catacombs. It was recorded last summer deep in the Les Catacombes de Paris [Catacombs of Paris] in France in July of 2024, capturing the band as you’ve never seen or heard them before. This utterly unique once in a lifetime experience features a carefully selected setlist spanning the QOTSA catalog, each song chosen and epically reimagined for the Catacombs. The result is an unprecedented incarnation of QOTSA at their most intimate, yet surrounded by literally millions of human remains — “the biggest audience we’ve ever played for,” says Joshua Homme.
A very limited deluxe edition of Queens of the Stone Age: Alive in the Catacombs sold out in record time, so the band released a standard vinyl edition.
