Queens of the Stone Age: In Times New Roman Vinyl Edition

Queens of the Stone Age return with their highly anticipated eighth studio album, In Times New Roman, set to release on June 16th through Matador. This album is unapologetically raw and powerful, offering a listening experience that’s not for the faint-hearted. Yet, it stands out as one of the most beautiful and fulfilling entries in their remarkable catalog.

With In Times New Roman, founder Joshua Homme delivers some of his most biting lyrics, all while maintaining the signature QOTSA sound. Each track is infused with fresh and unexpected elements, making every listen a new adventure. The album invites listeners to explore the beauty found beneath the scars of life, presenting a soundscape that resonates deeply with its audience.

Feeling disconnected from mainstream music, the band embraced their own creative desires, crafting an album that reflects their collective vision. “The world’s gonna end in a month or two,” Homme provocatively sings, challenging us to consider how we want to spend our remaining time. While they may not save us, QOTSA creates a space where we can find solace in their music.

In Times New Roman was recorded at Homme’s Pink Duck studio and mixed by Mark Rankin, ensuring a polished yet authentic sound. Fans can look forward to its availability on various digital platforms, as well as on vinyl and CD starting June 16th. The stunning artwork and double LP gatefold packaging, crafted by longtime collaborator Boneface, adds to the album’s allure. Expect to see the vinyl offered in a range of colors including black, green, red, silver, and blue.
