The band have promised to announce a 2019 tour shortly. What are Muse’s tour plans for 2018 and beyond? “It’s like a different riff every 10 seconds, basically.” “It’s more like a straight Muse rock track,” Bellamy told Radio X. The band have also dropped the ‘Back To The Future’ themed video for new single ‘Pressure’ We’re just working on that at the moment.”

Bellamy said: “There is actually a track on the album called ‘The Dark Side’, which is one of our favourite tracks. Muse first mentioned ‘The Dark Side’ in an interview on LA radio station KROQ in February. “Life on the road can bring out your inner beast, this song and video is about taming that beast, desiring a return to something human,” added Bellamy. “Plus, Teen Wolf is cool.”įinally, Muse have just dropped the album’s fourth single ‘The Dark Side’ – complete with sci-fi video that’s seemingly a sequel to ‘Something Human’ – as Bellamy swerves around a futuristic dystopian landscape. “Pulling further into a simulated world we follow Matt, Dom, and, Chris on the chase of a lifetime – where something as simple as returning some video tapes becomes an epic journey.” “Our aim with ‘Something Human’ was to continue the journey that began in ‘Dig Down’ and ‘Thought Contagion’,” Drake said. It was directed by Lance Drake, who worked with the band on their videos for 2017’s ‘Dig Down’ and ‘Thought Contagion.’

I think that’s where the song came from really. It’s kinda like some strange bubble where they’re all living up Trump’s bum, basically… It gets inside your mind. He continued: “If you spend a few hours watching American news, well, that’s were the first part of the song came from really. I first heard about it from a Richard Dawkins book years ago actually, it’s this idea that thoughts are contagious – they spread like a virus, or like genes.” When pressed for the meaning behind the track, Bellamy explained: “The clue is in the title, ‘Thought Contagion’. ‘Thought Contagion’, released back in February, is a suitably huge, 80’s-inspired track, with frontman Matt Bellamy telling NME at the time of release: “We’re getting into blending genres and eras together, both in the styles and in the music.
