The new record is titled Perfecth, and it\u2019s due on Oct. 30, 2026, from Matador Records.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along with the announcement, the band also dropped a yacht rock-ish new single: \u201cInsignificant Other\u201d. Don\u2019t get me wrong, this tune is quintessentially QOTSA. But it has this very smoky flow and gentle-but-funky riff that so eloquently builds over its 5+ minute runtime. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then there\u2019s frontman Josh Homme\u2019s incredibly smooth vocals. It\u2019s not that they sound exactly like Michael McDonald, but I\u2019m still convinced they\u2019d fit seamlessly into an old Doobie Brothers track.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tPlay video<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1787738229_438_hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Play\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interestingly, \u201cInsignificant Other\u201d is actually the second of only two takes the band took at the track, per a press release. \u201cIt\u2019s a song about distance,\u201d Homme said of the song. \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<\/p>\n<p>Queens of the Stone Age will release their new album on Halloween weekend<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEvery song sounds like it\u2019s from a different world,\u201d Homme later added of the album overall. \u201cAnd that\u2019s on purpose, because it\u2019s trying to stitch together all these emotions revolving around love, lust, foolishness, and the sort of wisdom that comes as a gift from all that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See the album\u2019s full tracklist below.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Perfecth\u2019 tracklisting:<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s Only Love<\/p>\n<p>Insignificant Other<\/p>\n<p>Where The Goth Girls At?<\/p>\n<p>Mono<\/p>\n<p>From The Cliff<\/p>\n<p>Sunday<\/p>\n<p>Easy Street<\/p>\n<p>Phantom Limb<\/p>\n<p>Run Away From The Mob<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Queens of the Stone Age named their new album Perfecth because, to Homme, \u201cperfect\u201d has never been an honest word. So, he crafted a version of it that feels like it is. \u201cNothing in this world is perfect,\u201d he explained, \u201cbut everything seems to be \u2018perfecth.\u2019 And that title is funny when you\u2019re in a group, but it ain\u2019t so funny when you\u2019re alone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to their new album, QOTSA will be making a few North American tour stops this fall.
