Pre-order/pre-save here. Muse have previewed ‘The WOW! Signal’ with epic lead single ‘Be With You’. It begins with a humming church organ before introducing elements of driving electronica, eventually erupting with a dose of blistering guitar rock. “It seems my light’s been swallowed up, I’ve used up every ounce of luck/ I need to leap into the fire, find a higher power, and reach for something new,” sings frontman Matt Bellamy. “I feel my life has just begun, it can’t just be with anyone/ It’s got to be with you.” ‘Be With You’ is accompanied by a cinematic official music video starring Ella Balinska (Resident Evil, The Occupant), directed by Nico Paolillo (Deafheaven, Bad Omens). Tune in here: Recommended   Per a press release, ‘The WOW! Signal’ takes its title from one of the most compelling interstellar mysteries of the last century – “a powerful 72-second radio burst detected in 1977 originating from the constellation Sagittarius with a bandwidth and intensity that suggested a possible extraterrestrial source”. “The astronomer who discovered the anomaly famously circled the now-iconic sequence ‘6EQUJ5’ and wrote ‘WOW!’ on the printout beside it – giving the signal its name and cementing its place in scientific and pop-culture lore,” it adds.

Signal’ is:  ‘The Dark Forest’ ‘Nightshift Superstar’ ‘Shimmering Scars’ ‘Cryogen’  ‘Be With You’  ‘Hexagons’ ‘The Sickness In You & I’ ‘Unravelling’ ‘Hush’ ‘Space Debris’ In early 2025, bassist Chris Wolstenholme talked about the future of Muse, and suggested that the group were thinking about a new album. “I think we’re gonna start work on the next record fairly soon,” he said, explaining that the group weren’t signed to a label at the time. “I think for the last few albums we’ve been with Warner and we’ve extended after each album,” the musician continued. “We may do the same again; we may go with a new label, who knows.” Wolstenholme revealed that they would be starting work “very, very soon, like in the next couple of months”. He added: “I would imagine that 2026 will be a new album, barring any disasters.” Muse embarked on a European tour last year, including a set at Madrid’s Mad Cool Festival, where the band stepped in for Kings Of Leon. NME described the show as an “era-spanning, revolutionary space-tacular” with “Matt Bellamy and co easing into their new cycle with riffs and revolution”.
