With the release of their ninth studio album Perfecth on October 30th, Queens of the Stone Age have released the official video for ‘From The Cliff’. For Homme, who has always found it easier to write about pain, melancholy, or anger, ‘From The Cliff’ represents an intentional effort to express a straightforward “I love you” and preserve the desire to hold onto a fleeting, beautiful moment. The video was written by Joshua Homme and Nathalia Pizarro and directed by Pizarro, the short film stars Homme, actresses Kaiman Kazazian and Natalia Safran, and actor Steve Olson, and tells a harrowing tale of love and trauma.
Queens of the Stone Age – From the Cliff (Official Music Video)
Nathalia Pizarro, who co-wrote, directed and edited the video for “From The Cliff,” is a Canadian-born artist based in Los Angeles, CA. Through her production company, The New American Picture Show, she has made several award-winning short films and created and executive produced notable television work. She is now in post-production on her debut feature, ILLOMEN, starring Sol Rodriguez, Lou Lou Safran, Booboo Stewart, and Joshua Homme, set to begin its festival run in spring 2027.
Queens of the Stone Age’s long-awaited new album Perfecth is out now via Matador Records. The album landed at #1 in five countries, including UK and Australia charts, while securing a Top 10 in eleven countries, including the US. The nine-song record culminates a project forged from fearlessness and composed of equal parts reflection and ferocity. Birthed from sessions tracked everywhere from New Orleans to Los Angeles, the music is fearless and boundless, moody and menacing, gentle and strange. Here, Queens have moved a career’s worth of jagged pieces into alignment. “Every song sounds like it’s from a different world,” says Homme. “And that’s on purpose, because it’s trying to stitch together all these emotions revolving around love, lust, foolishness, and the sort of wisdom that comes as a gift from all that.” Stream/buy Perfecth HERE.
