John Homme sings at the beginning of the ninth Queens of the Stone Age album, titled Perfecth. Perfecth is the band's most subdued and introspective work. The album follows the band's previous album, In Times New Roman…, released in 2023.

The track Phantom Limb is described as an acoustic X-ray of a heavy-rock tune, with Homme singing about trying to pilot friendless isolation. The acoustic songs From the Cliff and Easy Street feature Homme's English-rocker warble. The song Sunday ties Homme's Bowie-like voice to a slithering Iggy Pop-style track about searching for solace in a cold world.

The track Where the Goth Girls At has a low-slung riff and stuttering stomping groove that deliver gutter-glam thrills. The song Insignificant Other is a Seventies Stones-style stroll whose lyrics pick through the embers of a past Homme cannot rewrite.
