t's been over two years since Muse's last release Drones, which of course would give people the fairly logical notion that the band will in the near future be putting out new material. Well, yes and no. There is no album coming just yet, but they will be recording and releasing a few singles until then.
In a recent interview with KROQ at the Almost Acoustic Christmas show (which can be viewed in the video above), front man Matt Bellamy says:
“We’re mixing a new track right now. It’s called Thought Contagion and it’s gonna come out in the new year. We’re going to give it to you like in January or something, or February. It’s a great track – rocking, heavy.”
When asked about plans for a future album, Bellamy says:
“I think next year we’ll do like two or three more songs like this, and then the album might be like later next year or early ’19, something like that."
Honestly, I kind of understand why Muse might be dragging their feet with a new album right now. They might not have enough quality material to go in and do a full length album. It could also be the fact that singles are more profitable because not many people want to buy full length albums any more if they buy them at all. Just putting one song out at a time is a good way to get attention. Regardless, hopefully what we will be given to tide us over will rock and the album whenever it does come will be well worth the wait.
