News in about the next Queens of the Stone Age album. The new long player will feature collaborations with frontman Josh Homme's girlfriend - the Distillers' Brody Dalle, Garbage's Shirley Manson, and, as previously reported, ZZ Tops' Billy F Gibbons.
Commenting on her role on the album, Manson told reporters: "Brody and I sang backing vocals on a QOTSA track a few weeks back and it was so much fun. That girl has a crazy voice. She can really sing and what's even cooler about her is that she has NO fucking IDEA just how good she is. That's what I love about our girl Brody. She's a glorious, no nonsense, fucked-up mess. As for the new Queens Of The Stone Age record? It's great. Really great. You'll love it."
Homme has said the album will be a return to the band's roots following the departure of Nick Oliveri on bass, and longtime collaborator Mark Lanegan, who is releasing his own solo album.
