Queens Of The Stone Age Announce New Album 'Perfecth'

Queens Of The Stone Age have officially announced their ninth studio album, Perfecth, which is scheduled for release on October 30th via Matador Records. The band has also shared the lead single, "Insignificant Other," which NME describes as a "groovy" track. Frontman Josh Homme offered a perspective on the album's title, explaining that while nothing in the world is truly perfect, everything seems to be "perfecth." He noted that the title is humorous when you are in a group, but "ain't so funny when you're alone."

The announcement follows a series of recent releases and guest appearances that suggested the band was entering an album rollout phase. Last month, the group released "Easy Street," a collaboration with Nikki Lane that featured what has been described as a "beautifully ridiculous" music video. Additionally, Homme has recently contributed to tracks by Shania Twain and Mastodon. These projects preceded the formal confirmation of the new full-length record.

The band is currently supporting their new material on a large-scale stadium tour alongside Foo Fighters, Mannequin Pussy, and Gouge Away. This tour coincides with a busy season for alternative music, following recent announcements such as the new album from Remi Wolf and the upcoming Fontaines D.C. record.

The lead track is currently available for streaming on platforms including Consequence. This upcoming collection marks the band's first major release since their previous studio effort and continues their long-term partnership with their record label. The album will be available in full this fall.
