Muse Live in Session and Interview
With new album 'Absolution' out this week frontman Matt Belamy and co dropped by for a live session and interview with Zoë Ball. Check out their performance and what they had to say.
On the possibility of a number one album, the relative merits of monkeys and squirrels and band philosophies about humankind.
[listen]
Zoe: ‘Is it true that Matt thinks Aliens mated with apes to create humans and they will be back every 3000 years?’ Matt: ‘I think it’s highly likely. And its 3600 years.’
‘Hysteria’
[Dial-Up]
[Broadband]
Starting with a pulsing bed of electronica, built upon with synthesisers, grandiose pianos and lush strings ‘Hysteria’ staggers its way into a tremendous three-way harmonic guitar instrumental, proving once again, that they're light years ahead.
'Time Is Running Out'
[Dial-Up]
[Broadband]
The haunting comeback single apparently inspired by Michael Jackson's 'Billy Jean'. Mammoth chord sequences, tormented drumming, hammering bass and Matt Bellamy's empathy for the good of all humanity all delivered by one of Britain’s finest rock bands.
‘Bliss’
[Dial-Up]
[Broadband]
This laid back oldie charms its way into your mind with glam guitars and stunning, twirling keyboards. Merging unprocessed feelings with flowing melodies to produce a manifesto for the eradication of material belongings and enjoyment of the simple things in life; 'Everything about you pains my envying/Your soul can't hate anything'.
'Absolution' is out now.
