Queens of the Stone Age have unveiled their next single Where The Goth Girls At?

The song is the third cut to be taken from the band's forthcoming ninth studio album, Perfecth, which is out on 30th October via Matador records.

Speaking about the track, which explores themes of teenage love and the desire to impress others, frontman Josh Homme says: "Watching the goth girls working the counter at JCPenney and giving goth makeovers to the old ladies, that’s when I knew the only place I want to be is where the goth girls at. Teenage love, ain’t it grand?"

The band have reunited with Easy Street directors Christopher Gruse & Tony Wolski for the video for Where The Goth Girls At?, which features the band alongside comedian Steve Agee, dancer/artist Scarlett Kapella and singer/actress Lou Lou Safran.

Where the Goth Girls At?” follows previously released Perfecth singles Insignificant Other and the country-tinged Easy Street.

Watch the official lyric for the laid back and groove-laden Insignificant Other below.

According to a press release QOSTA's forthcoming album is called Perfecth because "perfect," as a word, has never been honest. So, Homme broke the word and made it "perfecth," a more appropriate spelling for a term that never felt right to begin with.

"Nothing in this world is perfect, but everything seems to be 'perfecth'," he explains. "And that title is funny when you're in a group, but it ain't so funny when you're alone.”

Produced by Homme and band member Michael Shuman, Perfecth will be available on CD, Standard Black Vinyl everywhere, on Clear Vinyl at Indie Retailers and as a limited Deluxe Edition — a gatefold LP package which includes handwritten lyrics, stationary, ‘stamps’ housed inside a custom envelope as well as a bespoke piece of art temporarily placed in a custom pocket — exclusively on the QOTSA and Matador webstores.
