Queens of the Stone Age are back with another new video from their acclaimed LP Villians, which was released back in 2017. Thew newest video is for their mile-a-minute rave-up “Head Like a Haunted House,” one of the best songs from the album.
The video plays like a tour of a haunted house, featuring lead singer Josh Homme’s head superimposed onto animated bodies. As the song progresses and the lyrics appear on screen, Homme and a host of bizarre characters put action to the words. Liam Lynch provided the art direction for the video as well as serving as the creator and director of the clip.
“Head Like a Haunted House” was previously released as teaser before Villians came out. Additional singles to be released from the record include “The Evil Has Landed” and “The Way You Used To Do.”
Villians is the band’s seventh studio album and found them working with acclaimed pop producer Mark Ronson for the first time ever. According to Homme, for this album the band wanted to create more dance-influenced record, which was made immediately obvious in the highly choreographed video for “The Way You Used To Do.”
