Queens of the Stone Age have revealed their upcoming album, titled "Perfecth," which is scheduled for release on October 30th through Matador Records. This marks the ninth studio album for the band, following their 2023 release "In Times New Roman...". The new single, "Insignificant Other", was premiered alongside a promotional video featuring lead vocalist Josh Homme and guitarist-keyboardist Dean Fertita.

The song is said to address themes of distance, loss, and the emotional turbulence that can accompany relationships. Homme commented, "It's 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." The album itself was produced by Homme alongside his QOTSA bandmate Michael Shuman and features nine tracks, each one described as existing in a different world.

Pre-orders for "Perfecth" are currently available in various formats, including a deluxe edition with a gatefold LP, handwritten lyrics, and a custom piece of art. The band will be embarking on the second leg of their North American tour in support of Foo Fighters starting on September 15th in Regina, Saskatchewan.
