Out on Oct. 25, the two volumes dubbed Arrivederci Despair (Vol. 11) and Tightwads & Nitwits & Critics & Heels (Vol. 12) feature an army of guests including ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons and Primus' Les Claypool. Watch a preview for the album starring Homme — and see the full artist list, artwork and track listing — toward the bottom of this post.

The star-studded new recordings end a 16-year hiatus for the Desert Sessions. (The collaborative series last left off with 2003’s 10th volume.) According to a press release, Vols. 11 & 12 were recorded "mostly in a six-day span in December 2018 at Rancho De La Luna studios in Joshua Tree, Calif., with Queens of the Stone Age founder and Desert Sessions ringleader/producer Joshua Homme enlisting a cast of players" including:
