In Times New Roman… due June 16th
Queens of the Stone Age (QOTSA) continue offering an advance look into their new album with the final advance offering from In Times New Roman… ahead of its highly anticipated eighth album out this Friday, June 16th on Matador Records. This pre-release gift comes in the form of “Paper Machete,” an instantly identifiable QOTSA future classic, sure to resound with casual fans and die hards alike. Lyrically, “Paper Machete” finds Josh Homme’s trademark rapier wit at its most acerbic. If the previously released “Carnavoyeur” signaled resignation and acceptance, “Paper Machete” is the collision of sheer, raw force that gets you there.
Zane Lowe will offer an in-depth conversation with frontman Josh Homme today (Wed, June 14th) at 10 am PST on Apple Music 1.
Earlier today, QOTSA announced a series of European headline arena shows to The End is Nero tour. The previously announced North American dates are now on-sale.
Fans are invited to ring in the album’s release at Midnight Club parties taking place at record shops and pubs across 23 countries. The Midnight Club starts on June 15th at 11 pm and will feature giveaways, exclusive merch including limited edition colored vinyl, and—in a few select locations—signed merchandise and ticket giveaways. Midnight Club will provide the QOTSA faithful with a first chance to hear In Times New Roman… in its entirety, amongst friends, family and of course appropriate levels of bacchanalia.
