Dean Fertita, guitarist for Queens of the Stone Age and the Dead Weather, has announced his new album, Tropical Gothclub. It's due out November 4 via Third Man. Fertita has also shared a new single from the release called "Wheels Within Wheels." The track will not only be included on Tropical Gothclub, but will also be released on 7" vinyl with the song "Street Level" on B-side. Listen to it below.
"Tropical Gothclub as a concept is futuristic nostalgia," Fertita shared in a statement, "going through the seven stages of escapism, understanding the subliminal messages I've been sending and receiving to myself, and letting fantasy take a machete to the darkest corners of my mind. I want subculture shock and volcanic rock."
In addition to his work with Queens of the Stone Age and the Dead Weather, Fertita has served as a touring guitarist for Beck, a touring keyboardist for the Raconteurs, and performed on records with Jack White, Iggy Pop, Karen O, the Kills, and more. He also released a self-titled album as Hello=Fire in 2009.
