Queens of the Stone Age Release A 15 Minute Video Set To New Songs

There’s an easy cool to Josh Homme and the music he writes with his band Queens of the Stone Age.  Like Marlon Brando in The Wild One when asked “what are you rebelling against” –  “Whadda you got?” – the music of QOTSA just drips with sweat, gasoline, attitude, and … well… coolness.  Their new album …Like Clockwork will be released on June 4, but don’t let the title fool you.  Apparently the new album didn’t go as planned and wasn’t such an easy journey.  Then again, I don’t think Brando knew what he was getting himself into when he stopped into that small town bar in The Wild One.  For what it’s worth, the new album is now completed and features a number of guest stars including Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner, Dave Grohl, Elton John, Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor, and Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters.  Fans of the band also know that this album sees original bassist Nick Oliveri returning to the line-up.  Front-man Josh Homme previously described the new album as “waking up in the middle of nowhere.”  That feeling of scared isolation and having to fight to survive can be felt in the new 15 minute video featuring five songs from their new album.  Bloodied and bandaged figures, highway chases, and bar fights litter this stream of conscious video made up of artwork by Boneface (animated by Liam Brazier).  It’s a wild video that features new songs ‘I Appear Missing’, ‘Kalopsia’, ‘Keep Your Eyes Peeled’, ‘If I Had A Tail’, and concluding with their new single ‘My God Is The Sun.’  …Like Clockwork will be released on June 4.
