The Coast to Coast Band [LP] [VINYL]

2xVinyl LP pressing. 2017 from the acclaimed rockers. Hundreds of epic shows, memory lapses, unexplained injuries, one year-long detour with Iggy Pop and multiple Grammy nominations later, Queens of the Stone Age reemerge from the desert newly scarred and somehow strangely prettier with lucky seventh album, Villains, out August 25 on Matador Records. Produced by Mark Ronson and co-produced by Mark Rankin and mixed by Alan Moulder, Villains is the first full album offering from Queens of the Stone Age since 2013's...

Like Clockwork, I was excited to get into the studio again with the challenge of pushing the sound for this record, especially with the the addition of Ronson into the creative mix... What we've made is forward looking yet unmistakably Queens.Inch InchThe title Villains isn't a political statement. It has nothing to do with Trump or any of that S**t. It's simply 1) a word that looks fantastic and 2) a comment on the three versions of every scenario yours, mine and what actually happened... Everyone needs someone or something to rail against - their villain - same as it ever was. Yo
