After 16 years, Josh Homme rekindles the 'Desert Sessions': 'This will outlast everything I do'

bandleader is not making music at the moment but plotting a bit of absurd comedy with filmmaker Liam Lynch.

The new “Desert Sessions” album is the first since 2003, resurrecting a dormant tradition that has previously led to collaborations with PJ Harvey, Mark Lanegan, members of Ween and Soundgarden and many others. Rancho de la Luna is on a bluff overlooking Joshua Tree National Park; it’s filled with idiosyncratic recording gear and a raw desert vibe curated by studio owner Dave Catching.The songs are recorded in two multiday sessions, by two separate groups of musicians, with one day of overlap.

“In terms of notoriety, I really have no interest in getting any bigger,” says Homme, also a committed family man with three young children and a successful punk-rock wife, Brody Dalle of the Distillers. “And if it were a little smaller, I’d probably be fine with that because there’s nothing down that road — unless it allows me to pull musicians from a farther world to do this.”

Homme had talked of doing another “Desert Sessions” set for years, even as outside projects filled his calendar: Eagles of Death Metal, super-group Them Crooked Vultures and being producer-bandleader on Iggy Pop’s acclaimed 2016 album “Post Pop Depression.”

That PJ Harvey part at the end was funny.

I love the Desert Sessions!!

Nothing you do will last.
