Josh Homme on the latest Desert Sessions: We can do anything we want to. All we have to do is like it

The latest edition of NME's The Big Read is about the newest sequel of Josh Homme's Desert Sessions Vol 11/12 , a collaborative album by influential musicians, making music that's just bizarre enough not to be taken seriously, and just good enough not to be taken stupid. This time around, guests in Homme's desert studio were Primus’ Les Claypool, Stella Mogzawa and Carla Azar, drummers for Warpaint and Jack White, Royal Blood's Mike Kerr, comedian Matt Berry, Matt Sweeney, Scissor Sister Jake Shears, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, plus two unknowns - Libby Grace and Töôrnst Hülpft. So, the point of all this - "is about seeing how far down the river goes. Where does it start? Where does it end? And allowing yourself to be swept away with the pace of that river”, as Homme told NME.
