Queens Of The Stone Age have unveiled a new music video for “From The Cliff,” bringing a cinematic and emotionally intense visual to one of the tracks from their latest album, Perfecth.
Released on November 12, the short film takes viewers into a disturbing story of love and trauma. Frontman Josh Homme helped write the video alongside filmmaker Nathalia Pizarro, who also directed the project.
The song appears on Perfecth, the band’s ninth studio album, which arrived on October 30 through Matador Records.
Josh Homme Explores A Different Side Of Love In “From The Cliff”
Homme has often drawn inspiration from darker emotions, including pain, melancholy and anger. However, “From The Cliff” takes a different approach.
The Queens Of The Stone Age frontman wanted to express something more direct: love and wanting to hold onto it. That emotional idea provides the foundation for the music video, which tells what the band describes as a harrowing tale of love and trauma.
The short film stars Homme alongside actresses Kaiman Kazazian and Natalia Safran, as well as actor Steve Olson.
‘Perfecth’ Continues To Make An Impression
“From The Cliff” comes from Perfecth, which has already made a strong impression on international charts. The nine-track album reached No. 1 in five countries, including the U.K. and Australia, and landed in the Top 10 in 11 countries, including the United States.
Recorded during sessions in locations ranging from New Orleans to Los Angeles, the album explores different forms of love, desire, heartbreak and personal growth.
Homme previously explained the record’s creative approach, saying that every song sounds like it comes from a different world. He wanted the collection to bring together emotions surrounding love, lust, foolishness and the wisdom that comes from those experiences.
The album features:
- “It’s Only Love”
- “Insignificant Other”
- “Where The Goth Girls At?”
- “Mono”
- “From The Cliff”
- “Sunday”
- “Easy Street”
- “Phantom Limb”
- “Run Away From The Mob”
Queens Of The Stone Age Prepare For 2027 World Tour
The new video arrives as Queens Of The Stone Age prepare to take Perfecth on the road.
The band recently announced its 2027 world tour, which begins May 1 in San Diego, California. The North American leg includes stops at major venues such as the Kia Forum in Inglewood and TD Garden in Boston, alongside an outdoor performance at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
