Queens of the Stone Age have dropped a video for ‘From the Cliff’, the latest single from their ninth studio album “Perfecth”. The track is an intentional effort by frontman Josh Homme to write a straightforward love song. The video, written by Homme and Nathalia Pizarro, was also directed by Pizarro. Starring Homme alongside actors Kaiman Kazazian, Natalia Safran and Steve Olson, it tells a story of love and trauma. 

On the album, Homme says, “every song sounds like it’s from a different world. And that’s on purpose, because it’s trying to stitch together all these emotions revolving around love, lust, foolishness, and the sort of wisdom that comes as a gift from all that.” 

Speaking exclusively to Rock Sound about the track, Homme says, “it reminds me a lot of Eagles of Death Metal. Jesse’s supposed to bring in this marble, and it always triggers something immediate in me. Cherry blossoms of ideas are dropping, and you’re racing to catch them out of the sky before they hit the ground.” The band all agree that the song came together easily. 

“Perfecth” is out now via Matador Records. The band will tour worldwide later this year.
