Eagles of Death Metal, the Jesse Hughes and Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme’s duo, will release their new album, Zipper Down on October 2 through T-Boy Records and Universal Music Enterprises. They have shared “Silverlake” after the release of “Complexity” and “Got A Woman” from the upcoming album. Listen to it here via Rolling Stone.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Homme joked that the seven years since Heart On “had a really negative byproduct. There were all sorts of Middle East troubles and all these other things, so we’re sorry for that. We didn’t wanna cause that by not putting out music, but we figured now that we’re gonna put this stuff out, most of the world should kind of come back together like before.”

He added:

We put out a record and human rights are better, the world feels better, people make more money, there’s less anger, people are more respectful to women and to homosexuals, and they’re generally nicer each other, they’re kinder to each other, and that’s why we really felt like it was time to let the healing begin.

 

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.”

01. Complexity

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