Josh Homme and the fellows in Queens of the Stone Age are not any strangers to the darkish. Their music has at all times had a tinge of the macabre, the melancholy, the unusual, that may be traced again all the best way to their debut launch again in 1998. But their most up-to-date releases, …Like Clockwork and Villains have seen the band actually fall down that rabbit gap.

With right this moment’s launch of “Carnavoyeur,” the band’s newest single off their forthcoming album In Occasions New Roman… that acid journey into the black continues. Whereas the album’s first single “Emotion Illness” was a bit unusual and off, this new monitor dives headfirst into that trippy, LSD-soaked facet of QotSA’s sonic spectrum. It’s a swaying, echo-filled monitor that has Homme’s crooning entrance and heart amid the booming soundscape.

In accordance with the band, In Occasions New Roman… is “uncooked, at occasions brutal and never beneficial for the faint of coronary heart. And but, it’s maybe probably the most lovely and undoubtedly probably the most rewarding album of their epic discography. Homme’s most acerbic lyrics thus far are buoyed by the immediately identifiable QOTSA sonic signature, expanded and embellished with new and unprecedented twists in nearly each track. With In Occasions New Roman… we see that generally one must look beneath scars and scabs to see magnificence, and generally the scabs and scars are the wonder.”

Along with the brand new single, the band additionally unveiled what they’re calling the “Midnight Membership,” a possibility to listen to the brand new album in its entirety the night time earlier than its launch beginning at 11 p.m. on June 15. Solely choose report shops and pubs all over the world will probably be internet hosting the occasion, with attendees having access to unique merchandise, entry to giveaways, and potential signed gadgets and ticket giveaways.

In Occasions New Roman… will probably be out there on all platforms and as a bodily launch on June 16 by way of Matador Data, although you may preorder your copy right this moment.
