The Wow! Signal<\/a>, out June 26th via Warner Records. The announcement was truly out of this world, with Muse launching the news from space! In partnership with Sent Into Space, the band sent a specially-designed tablet 33km up into the atmosphere to premiere the \u201cBe With You\u201d video, while a second package carried stickers for a limited-edition vinyl release to be claimed by fans.<\/p>\nThe Wow! Signal marks the band\u2019s first album since 2022\u2019s acclaimed Will Of The People, which premiered at No. 1 on Billboard\u2019s Top Rock Albums and Top Alternative Albums. Inviting us to dive headlong into the new album\u2019s world, Muse is sharing the massive opening salvo of a lead single, \u201cBe With You,\u201d alongside a scene-setting official music video starring Ella Balinska (Resident Evil, The Occupant).<\/p>\n
\u201cBe With You\u201d opens on a huge, humming church organ and Matt Bellamy\u2019s equally epic vocal as he zooms in on a heavy moment: \u201cIt seems my light\u2019s been swallowed up, I\u2019ve used up every ounce of luck \/ I need to leap into the fire, find a higher power, and reach for something new.\u201d But soon enough, the track ignites into driving electronica and, eventually, searing rock as the narrator\u2019s perspective shifts from dejection to resolve: \u201cI feel my life has just begun, it can\u2019t just be with anyone \/ It\u2019s got to be with you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Directed by Nico Paolillo (Deafheaven, Bad Omens), the \u201cBe With You\u201d video brings this galvanizing moment to life in stunning cinematic detail. As a red halo clings to the moon, Balinska begins to notice odd phenomena and seems pulled out into the night by some greater force. She eventually meets a man moved by the same strange energy, and together they witness a beautiful and terrifying phenomenon.<\/p>\n
The Wow! Signal takes its name 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 \u201c6EQUJ5\u201d and wrote \u201cWow!\u201d on the printout beside it \u2014 giving the signal its name and cementing its place in scientific and pop-culture lore.<\/p>\n
