Fire Track \u00a0\u00b7\u00a0 Matador Records<\/p>\n

Nine songs about love in all its forms \u2014 the kind that breaks you and the kind that puts you back together \u2014 out October 30<\/p>\n

\n August 2026
New Lyric Video
Queens of the Stone Age\n <\/p>\n

Queens of the Stone Age have announced their ninth album, Perfecth, out October 30 on Matador Records. The title is intentional: the word \u201cperfect\u201d has never been honest, Homme says, so he broke it. \u201cNothing in this world is perfect, but everything seems to be \u2018perfecth.\u2019\u201d The record was produced by Homme and bassist Michael Shuman, recorded in sessions from New Orleans to Los Angeles, and maps nine different forms of love \u2014 family, friends, the loves that break you, the loves that don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\u201cInsignificant Other\u201d is the album\u2019s centerpiece and arrived from only the second take, the quintet playing loose and making space for each other in real time. It is a song about distance, about someone who was your entire world simply vanishing, and about the strange vertigo of being on the receiving end of that. It is also immediately one of the best things Queens of the Stone Age have recorded in years. Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Shuman, Dean Fertita, and Jon Theodore sound like a band that has moved a career\u2019s worth of jagged pieces into alignment and arrived at something hard-won and clear.<\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt\u2019s a song about distance. About 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 \u2014 Joshua Homme\n <\/p>\n

The band resumes their North American stadium run with Foo Fighters in September before headline shows in Iceland, Japan, Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand through December. Pre-order the album below.<\/p>\n
