New MUSE album about "Halfway Done," will be more "Symphonic"
British rockers MUSE are working steadily on their next album, the follow-up to 2006's BLACK HOLES AND REVELATIONS, and frontman MATT BELLAMY told BBCRadio 6 that ""A symphonic album has turned up here--like a full collaboration with an orchestra!"
"There's definitely a few things on the album which are segueing into each other and it's all very orchestral," BELLAMY says. "That could take over the album, so it could actually be kind of classical act basically, and move away from rock all together."
Original statements from the band had led us to expect something more electronic from MUSE this time around, but it sounds as if a different direction altogether has developed as the recording has progressed.
While no release date has been set for the as-yet-untitled disc, BELLAMY says the album is about "halfway done," and he expects it to be out by the fall. He says that oce it is released, MUSE will go back on the road to support the disc.
No word as to whether they plan to travel with a symphony orchestra!
