"The Queens of the Stone Age frontman headed into the Californian desert with pals Jake Shears, Royal Blood's Mike Kerr and - maybe - even Dave Grohl. Fun times ensued".

"Some of the names gathered here will make immediate, almost expected sense. ZZ Top mainman Billy Gibbons, for instance, is a forehead-slappingly obvious fit, exuding ultimate cool as he sings on opener Move Together, and adds slinking riffs to Noses In Roses, Forever. So too is Royal Blood's Mike Kerr, a man possessed of a similar sense of cool to Josh, who adds a thrust to the roaring Crucifire and Something You Can't See. That eccentric Primus bass loon Les Claypool can be heard weaving his way through Far East For The Trees feels so right you can smell it ... In some ways, this is a telegraph from an older way of making records - where in the studio you are genuinely cut off, as would have been the case in the `60s or `70s. But it's also a timeless salute to human connection through, strangely, hermitage".
