AceShowbiz - Muse continues to explore the cosmos with their 10th studio album, The WOW! Signal, set for release on June 26 through Warner Records. This British alternative-rock trio once again draws inspiration from the stars, delivering a cosmic blend of sounds that push the boundaries of their music.

The album kicks off with the single "Be With You," a track that uniquely combines two distinct atmospheres. It features a pipe organ reminiscent of Hans Zimmer’s iconic soundtrack for Interstellar, paired with the energy of a bustling nightclub beat, creating a soundscape that spans multiple musical galaxies.

In an innovative launch event, Muse partnered with Sent Into Space to send a special tablet carrying the "Be With You" music video 20 miles above Earth’s surface. The video stars Ella Balinska, known for her roles in Resident Evil and The Occupant, and is directed by Nico Paolillo, who has worked with artists like Deafheaven and BAD OMENS. This unique premiere reflects the band’s mission to connect their music with the vastness of space.

Fans can also look forward to a limited-edition vinyl release, which will come with exclusive stickers sent into space, adding an extra layer of collectability and excitement to the album’s rollout.

On the single "Be With You," frontman Matt Bellamy sings with a sense of urgency and hope: "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." This lyric sets the tone for an album described by Warner Music as a "mix of cosmic mystery, existential hope, and the exhilarating possibility of contact with something far greater than ourselves."

Since their formation in Devon, England, in the mid-1990s, Muse has sold over 30 million albums worldwide. Their impressive career includes multiple Brit Awards, MTV Europe Music Awards, NME Awards, and Grammy Awards for Best Rock Album, earned with The Resistance (2009) and Drones (2015).

The band has also seen considerable chart success with three singles reaching the Billboard Hot 100 and 10 albums charting on the Billboard 200, including a No. 1 album with Drones. In the UK, they have achieved seven No. 1 albums, their most recent being the 2022 release Will of the People. This album also debuted at No. 1 in Australia, marking their fourth album to top the ARIA Chart.

The WOW! Signal draws its title from one of modern science’s most intriguing mysteries: a powerful 72-second radio burst detected in 1977. Originating from the constellation Sagittarius, the signal’s bandwidth and intensity suggested a possible extraterrestrial source. The event was famously annotated with "WOW!" by the researcher who discovered the sequence "6EQUJ5," a moment that has since echoed through scientific and popular culture alike.

This signal remains unexplained, never having been detected again, and it has inspired not only scientific inquiry but also creative works such as the Netflix sci-fi series 3 Body Problem. Muse taps into this blend of mystery and wonder as the thematic backbone of their new album.

The tracklist for The WOW! Signal includes:

1. The Dark Forest
2. Nightshift Superstar
3. Shimmering Scars
4. Cryogen
5. Be With You
6. Hexagons
7. The Sickness In You & I
8. Unravelling
9. Hush
10. Space Debris

With this release, Muse continues to blend their trademark rock sound with grand cosmic themes, offering listeners an evocative journey that fuses art, science, and imagination. The band’s ambitious new chapter promises to captivate both longtime fans and new audiences eager for a sonic adventure beyond the stars.
