Queens of the Stone Age’s ninth album, Perfecth, arrives at a moment of hard-won clarity for the band. The record’s nine songs map different forms of love: of family, friends, and others. The loves that break you and the loves that bring you back. The music is fearless and boundless, moody and menacing, gentle and strange. “Insignificant Other” is the album’s centerpiece – sprawling, loose, and supernatural. “Mono” captures the headspinning feeling of heartbreak with a mix that slips seamlessly from mono to stereo and from claustrophobia to widescreen orchestral grandeur. The band remains enduringly, singularly magnetic. It’s art that snarls and seduces in equal measure.

Praise for advance single “Easy Street”

“A starry-eyed psychedelic track.” - Stereogum

“‘Easy Street,’ is a slow, folk-tastic fever dream that just feels like the tip of an iceberg.” - VICE

“When the woozy stargazing synths come in for the backend of the song, you can practically see the glinting sparks from a campfire carried up by the rising smoke into the starry air.” - Consequence

“The track pairs unplugged plucks and echo-slathered, rhumba-like clapping with Homme’s famously honeyed croon.”- Revolver
