"Complexity" is rooted in Hughes and Homme fondness for classic rock & roll, and is powered by a backbeat hip-shaking and the persistent rumble of a piano. The track also has a lot of blown-out guitars and charmingly awkward lyrics about not taking rock music - or whatever - so seriously.

Despite the long delay between Eagles of Death Metal albums, both Hughes and Homme they have remained busy with the release of former Honkey Kong in 2011, a solo album under the name of Boots Electric.

Notable contributions Dave Grohl, Trent Reznor, Elton John and Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears ... Like Clockwork also featured original bassist Nick Oliveri, who was fired from the band in 2004.
