Queens of the Stone Age release ‘Perfecth’ album
Overview
American rock band Queens of the Stone Age have released their ninth studio album, ‘Perfecth’, via Matador Records. The nine-song project, produced by Josh Homme and Michael Shuman, is the band’s shortest and leanest album to date with a runtime of 36 minutes. The record marks a stylistic departure from the band’s traditional heavy, fuzz-filled alternative rock roots, moving toward a quieter, more melodic, and experimental sound that blends smudged melodies with misshapen guitars.
Frontman Josh Homme described the album as a reflective and vulnerable work exploring themes of love, loss, anxiety, and healing. The title, ‘Perfecth’, is an intentional misspelling of ‘perfect’ intended to symbolize the broken pieces of Homme’s personal life that have begun to repair following significant challenges, including a divorce and a battle with cancer. Featured tracks include ‘Insignificant Other’, ‘Easy Street’, ‘It’s Only Love’, and ‘Where the Goth Girls At?’, the latter of which the band recently performed on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
To celebrate the launch, the band scheduled ‘HalloQueen’ retail events for October 31 at participating record stores in several Australian cities, including Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney. These events offer fans access to exclusive merchandise and a limited-edition picture disc.
Following the release, the band is set to continue an extensive touring schedule through 2026 and 2027, including international dates in Asia, Oceania, and South America, as well as a 16-date North American tour beginning in May 2027.
