Last month Rockculture® was fortunate enough to witness Queens of the Stone Age’s “comeback”, or at least their second show in three years at Boston Calling on 28 May.
The band debuted their new song ‘Negative Space’, a track which appears on their new album In Times New Roman, released today, 16 June.
In Times New Roman was recorded at Rick Rubin’s Shangri-La and at Josh Homme’s Pink Duck Studios. Their single ‘Negative Space’ is the second song to be heard from the new album and follows ‘Emotion Sickness’, their first single.
The album channels a Josh Homme much more in tune with his inner self, I find. He wrote the new tracks in a “self-imposed exile” and the growth which can come from losing people closest to you is ubiquitous in every new song.
We can’t wait to see how their upcoming tours go – we will be at the show in Frankfurt (at the very minimum).
