Queens of the Stone Age have unveiled “Run Away from the Mob” as the latest single from their upcoming album, Perfecth, which arrives this Friday via Matador Records.
The song is a stripped-down track that remains mellow until the 2:45 mark, when the drums and guitars get loud for the final minute of the tune.

“It’s a letter,” explains frontman Josh Homme of the song’s lyrics. “A last one, addressed to an oldest son — ‘if you’re reading this, everything went wrong, and here’s what you have to do’. The end is the sound of a father standing behind his son.”
