Queens Of The Stone Age are currently streaming their forthcoming new album ‘…Like Clockwork’ in its entirety ahead of its official release on June 3. The band have put their sixth album online at iTunes.com/QOTSA.

The band debuted all of their new material at a show at The Wiltern last week in Los Angeles. Queens Of The Stone Age have also made a full video recording of the show available online. The gig, which was their first North American performance of the year, was live-streamed and is now being shown via NPR.

In addition to playing new material, the band also performed a number of classic tracks such as ‘Song For The Dead’, ‘First It Giveth’, ‘No One Knows’ and ‘Make It Wit Chu’ in front of a crowd that included Morrissey, Jack White, Alex Turner and Trent Reznor.

‘…Like Clockwork’ is made up of 10 tracks and was produced by frontman Josh Homme and the band at Pink Duck in Burbank, California. It was recorded by Mark Rankin with additional engineering by Justin Smith. It contains a list of guest stars, including Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner, Dave Grohl, Elton John, Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor and Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters.
