Queens of the Stone Age has announced that the band\u2019s ninth album, Perfecth, is due Oct. 30 from Matador Records.<\/p>\n
Out today is the latest single, \u201cInsignificant Other,\u201d which can be heard below, where Josh Homme channels his David Bowie side on this slow number that chugs with emotional intensity, with even nods to early Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. It\u2019s a song about distance,\u201d says frontman Joshua Homme. \u201cAbout how someone can be your entire world only to simply vanish. And about the strange vertigo of being on the receiving end of that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
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 \u2014 a gatefold LP package which includes handwritten lyrics, stationary, \u2018stamps\u2019 housed inside a custom envelope as well as a bespoke piece of art temporarily placed in a custom pocket \u2014 exclusively on the QOTSA and Matador webstores.
