QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE finalize track listing for next album

Billboard.com reports: QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE has finalized the track list for its next album, “Era Vulgaris,” due in late June or early July via Interscope. The project features 11 songs, including two cuts, “Misfit Love” and “Run Pig Run,” which were not finished in time for the playback Billboard.com enjoyed last month at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas.

“Misfit Love” is an ominous boogie-rocker with robotic vocals and fuzzed-out guitars crowding the mix, while “Run Pig Run” closes the disc with a bizarre mix of balls-out rock, siren-like guitar shredding, sudden tempo changes and chanted singing.

Other highlights include the fast, powerful “Sick, Sick, Sick” and “Battery Acid,” and the psychedelic “I’m Designer” and “Suture Up Your Future.” Longtime collaborator Mark Lanegan guests on “River in the Road.”

QOTSA has announced a handful of European shows around the release of “Era Vulgaris,” beginning June 14 at London’s Wireless Festival.

Here is the track list for “Era Vulgaris“:

1. Turning on the Screw
2. Sick, Sick, Sick
3. I’m Designer
4. Into the Hollow
5. Misfit Love
6. Battery Acid
7. Make It Wit Chu
8. 3’s & 7’s
9. Suture Up Your Future
10. River in the Road
11. Run Pig Run
