Queens of the Stone Age<\/a> are back with \u201cEasy Street,\u201d a song the band initially debuted on their recent \u201cCatacombs\u201d tour and which now features Nikki Lane<\/a>. Out now via Matador Records, the track marks their first new recorded music since 2023\u2019s In Times New Roman<\/a>…<\/a> LP. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of a funny song,\u201d Josh Homme shared. \u201cIt\u2019s like hitting your funny bone, where it\u2019s funny because it hurts and it hurts because it\u2019s funny. You\u2019re serious, but it\u2019s funny. We made it the way you\u2019d make a demo. No click track, mistakes left in. It speeds up, it slows down, the claps aren\u2019t great, but they\u2019re not bad, and a bad clap adds this human thing you can\u2019t fake. It\u2019s not just about silliness. It\u2019s about understanding the imperfection of your life. The song, like your life, is in the mistakes. Its imperfections are unbeatable.\u201d<\/p>\n

The track arrives alongside a music video directed by The Armed\u2019s Tony Wolski and Christopher Gruse, based on a story and idea by Homme.
