Josh Homme, frontman to Queens of the Stone Age, and collaborative partner Jesse Hughes revealed yesterday the first Eagles of Death Metal song in seven years, “Complexity”. They have now gone into detail about the album the single comes from, ZIPPED DOWN, which is due on October 2nd through T-Boy/UME.
The 11-track follow-up to Heart On includes “Complexity” and a cover of Duran Duran’s “Save a Prayer”.

Home said in a statement that the new LP’s sound, “In an independent study, four out of three doctors say ZIPPER DOWN is an eargasm trapped inside a crazerbeam. And I believe them.”

Hughes also reflected on the mantra of the record: “The new album, ZIPPER DOWN, really represents to me an attitude and philosophy of life. One should not zipper up, they should zipper down and let it all hang out.”

ZIPPER DOWN Tracklist:

01. Complexity

02. Silverlake (K.S.O.F.M.)

03. Got a Woman

04. I Love You All The Time

05. Oh Girl

06. Got the Power

07. Skin Tight Boogie

08. Got a Woman (slight return)

09. The Deuce

10. Save a Prayer (Duran Duran cover)

11. The Reverend

On tour in Europe, the band has expanded the tour through December. It is unclear if Homme will be performing at any shows even though he joined Hughes on-stage in Paris.
