Queens of the Stone Age Embrace Imperfection on New Album Perfecth

Queens of the Stone Age have released Perfecth, their ninth studio album, out now through Matador Records. The album arrived on October 30, 2026, and its title is the thesis: the word perfect with a flaw deliberately built in, reflecting Josh Homme’s view that perfection is ultimately unattainable.

The nine track record was produced by Homme with bassist Michael Shuman and recorded during sessions in New Orleans and Los Angeles. Its songs explore different forms of love, loss and recovery, and the band chased spontaneity in the studio: Insignificant Other, the album’s centerpiece and second single, was captured in only two takes, preserving the live charge of Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Shuman, Dean Fertita and Jon Theodore playing in a room. The first preview, Easy Street, features Nikki Lane. The full tracklist runs It’s Only Love, Where The Goth Girls At?, Mono, From the Cliff, Sunday, Easy Street, Phantom Limb, Run Away From The Mob and Insignificant Other. The album is available digitally and on CD and vinyl, with a limited deluxe edition offering additional packaging and artwork.

The release extends a huge year on the road. The band returned in September for North American stadium dates with Foo Fighters and plays a sold out Laugardalshöll in Iceland during release week, with headline performances ahead in Japan, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand, and a Perfecth World Tour now rolling out. Perfecth is streaming now. Nine albums in, the band still sounds like nobody else on earth, and that refusal to sand down the edges is exactly the point.
