Queens of the Stone Age have seen nothing but the press they deserve since the release of their sixth studio album, …Like Clockwork. Now the band have spoken with Rolling Stone about working on a new album that is, apparently, in the very near future.

Frontman Josh Homme expressed that the band wants to keep that drive running in 2014. When asked if the band is ready to make another album soon, he replied: “Absolutely. We have more than enough songs. We’re booked til September, but after that we plan to jump in the studio and get going.” He’s not kidding around. The band was already talking about recording a new album back in June.

Their heavy touring schedule sees them playing sold-out shows across the US and Europe, and it’s continuing on into this new year. Despite the energetic and entertaining setting that live shows bring, Queens of the Stone Age can’t wait to get back to the studio. “When it’s time to make music, that’s about getting lost for me,” said Homme. “To be a control freak is not half as good as being a freak who’s casually in control. You’re feeling around in the dark for something that feels good. As long as you’re not in an orgy, that can be an amazing moment.”
