The song serves as the third preview of Josh Homme and co’s ninth studio album, ‘Perfecth’, which is released on October 30. It follows recent tracks ‘Insignificant Other’ and ‘Easy Street’.

‘Where The Goth Girls At?’ pairs minimalist riffs with an explosive chorus, amplified by some rich string and horn arrangements.

Homme drew inspiration for the nostalgic track from his youth in a Palm Desert suburb, and reflects on themes of teen romance and the desire to impress others.

“Watching the goth girls working the counter at JCPenney and giving goth makeovers to the old ladies, that’s when I knew the only place I want to be is where the goth girls at,” explained the frontman. “Teenage love, ain’t it grand?”

The chaotic and bizarre accompanying music video sees Queens reunite with ‘Easy Street’ video directors Christopher Gruse and Tony Wolski. It features appearances from comedian Steve Agee, dancer/artist Scarlett Kapella, and singer/actress Lou Lou Safran.

QOTSA members star in the visuals, too, as a copious amount of black ink takes over a deserted power plant. The titular goth girls command authority and self-assurance as they transform everyone they encounter into their ultimate form.
