“Where the Goth Girls At?” is the striking third single from Queens of the Stone Age’s ninth studio album, Perfecth. The track pairs raw, minimalist riffs with an explosive chorus, amplified by rich string and horn arrangements. Drawing on inspiration and nostalgia from Josh Homme’s youth in a Palm Desert suburb, the song centers on themes of teenage love and the desire to impress others.
About the song, Homme says, “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. Teenage love, ain’t it grand?”
The video for the song finds the band reunited with “Easy Street” video directors Christopher Gruse & Tony Wolski, and features comedian Steve Agee, dancer/artist Scarlett Kapella, singer/actress Lou Lou Safran, Queens band members, and copious amounts of black ink. Against the backdrop of a deserted power plant, the goth girls command authority and self-assurance as they transform everyone they encounter into their ultimate form.
