Queens of the Stone Age's hotly anticipated new album, In Times New Roman… — the band's first in six years — is almost upon us. So far, fans have gotten to hear two songs: "Emotion Sickness," the LP's lead single, and "Negative Space," which Josh Homme and Co. recently debuted live at the Boston Calling festival. Today (May 31st), QOTSA offered up a third cut and the album's second single, "Carnavoyeur."
The song dials back some of the hard-rock punch of the aforementioned tunes, offering up a sadder, slinkier, more psychedelic and introspective side of the In Times New Roman... equation. "When there's nothing I can do, I smile...," Homme sings wryly, a seemingly resigned nod to the hard times he's been navigating in his personal life.
The single arrived accompanied by a fittingly trippy lyric video. Watch and listen above.
In Times New Roman… is due out June 16th via Matador and available for pre-order on vinyl now.
