"Paper Machete" comes from In Times New Roman..., the eighth Queens of the Stone Age album, which Matador released in June 2023 as the band's first record since Villains and the last of a Matador trilogy that began with ...Like Clockwork. The songwriting is split five ways, with Josh Homme supplying the words and the lead vocal.
On paper it's a three-guitar pileup: Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen and Dean Fertita all play electric, over Michael Shuman's bass and Jon Theodore's drums, with Shuman singing backup and Homme adding percussion. The band produced it themselves, cutting the album at Homme's Pink Duck Studios in Burbank and Rick Rubin's Shangri-La in Malibu, and Mark "Top" Rankin mixed. Homme has tied the whole record to a rough, up-and-down stretch of his life.
