Author Benedetta Baldin – 23.9.2026<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere the Goth Girls At?\u201d is the third single taken from Queens of the Stone Age<\/a>\u2019s ninth studio album, \u201cPerfecth\u201d. The track combines raw, minimalist riffs with an explosive chorus, enriched by sumptuous string and wind arrangements. Inspired by Josh Homme\u2019s memories and experiences of his youth in a suburb of Palm Desert, the song revolves around the themes of teenage love and the desire to impress others.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the song, Homme says: \u2018I used to watch the goth girls working at the JCPenney counter, transforming elderly ladies with make-up and goth clothes: that\u2019s when I realised the only place I wanted to be was where the goth girls were. Teenage love \u2013 isn\u2019t it brilliant?\u2019<\/p>\n

The video for the track was directed by the same team behind \u2018Easy Street\u2019, Christopher Gruse and Tony Wolski, and features comedian Steve Agee, dancer and artist Scarlett Kapella, singer and actress Lou Lou Safran, members of Queens, and copious amounts of black ink. Against the backdrop of an abandoned power station, the goth girls transform everyone they meet into their final form.<\/p>\n

\u201cPerfecth,\u201d which was co-produced by Homme and the band\u2019s bassist\/vocalist Michael Shuman, was inspired by Kintsugi, the Japanese technique of mending damaged objects. <\/p>\n

Every song sounds like it\u2019s from a different world. And 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.\u00a0\u2013 Josh Homme<\/p>\n
