With the release of their ninth studio album Perfecth on October 30th, Queens of the Stone Age have released the official video for ‘From The Cliff’. For Homme, who has always found it easier to write about pain, melancholy, or anger, ‘From The Cliff’ represents an intentional effort to express a straightforward “I love you” and preserve the desire to hold onto a fleeting, beautiful moment. The video was written by Joshua Homme and Nathalia Pizarro and directed by Pizarro, the short film stars Homme, actors Kaiman Kazazian, Natalia Safran and Steve Olson, and tells a harrowing tale of love and trauma.
Nathalia Pizarro, who co-wrote, directed and edited the video for ‘From The Cliff’, is a Canadian-born artist based in Los Angeles, CA. Through her production company, The New American Picture Show, she has made several award-winning short films and created and executive produced notable television work. She is now in post-production on her debut feature, ILLOMEN, starring Sol Rodriguez, Lou Lou Safran, Booboo Stewart, and Joshua Homme, set to begin its festival run in spring 2027.
The ‘From the Cliff’ video is the latest cinematic addition to the Perfecth visual world. It all began with ‘Easy Street’, a disorienting celebration of what it is to be an outsider, directed by Tony Wolski and Christopher Gruse. A deadly game of Five Finger Fillet followed, directed by long time QOTSA photographer Andreas Neumann, and a Perfecth match with the most beautiful rescue dog you’ve (n)ever seen, Big Chongus, by Chapman Baehler. Wolski and Gruse then returned for their second QOTSA collaboration Where The Goth Girls At, taking Perfecth into surreal B-movie nightmare vision territory.
Looking ahead, Queens of the Stone Age have announced European tour dates for 2027, extending the Perfecth World Tour. The shows begin May 1st at San Diego’s Viejas Arena, before landing in Germany on 13th June at Gilde Parkbühne into Tollwood Festival before shows across France, Spain, Italy and Croatia. Additional EU and UK shows will soon be announced.
