\n\tMuse<\/a>\u2019s music is often said to be out of this world. With The WOW! Signal<\/em>, the British alternative-rock trio once more turns its attention to the stars.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe band\u2019s 10th<\/sup> and latest studio album is due out June 26 via Warner Records, and achieves lift-off with the single \u201cBe With You,\u201d a track that manages to straddle two galaxies. One, with a pipe organ that will remind listeners of Hans Zimmer\u2019s Interstellar<\/em> soundtrack. The other, a pumping nightclub.<\/p>\n

\n\tTo launch into the spirit of the new project, Music sent a special tablet 20 miles into the atmosphere, in partnership with Sent Into Space<\/a>. While floating above Earth, the device premiered the music video for \u201cBe With You,\u201d starring Ella Balinska\u00a0(Resident Evil, The Occupant<\/em>) and directed by Nico Paolillo (Deafheaven, BAD OMENS<\/em>).\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tA second package is said to carry stickers for a limited-edition vinyl release, which is certain to be coveted by fans.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn \u201cBe With You,\u201d frontman Matt Bellamy sings: \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\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s the first taste of an album that\u2019s a \u201cmix of cosmic mystery, existential hope, and the exhilarating possibility of contact with something far greater than ourselves,\u201d according to a statement from Warner Music, announcing the forthcoming collection.<\/p>\n

\n\tSince forming in Devon, England in the mid-1990s, Muse has sold more than 30 million albums globally, won multiple Brit Awards, MTV Europe Music Awards, NME Awards and collected Grammy Awards for best rock album, first with\u00a0The Resistance<\/em>\u00a0(2009) and later with\u00a0Drones\u00a0<\/em>(2015).<\/p>\n

\n\tThe rockers have landed three titles on the Billboard Hot 100, and 10 albums on the Billboard 200 chart, including a No. 1 with Drones<\/em>. They\u2019re a chart force in the United Kingdom, with seven No. 1 albums, most recently with 2022\u2019s Will of the People<\/em>, their previous album. In Australia, Will of the People<\/em> opened at No. 1 for the group\u2019s fourth No. 1 on the ARIA Chart. <\/p>\n

\n\tMuse\u2019s next LP takes its name from one of the great mysteries of modern science, 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. Or maybe not. The source was never located, and the signal never received again.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe researcher who discovered the anomaly circled the now-iconic sequence \u201c6EQUJ5\u201d and wrote \u201cWOW!\u201d on the printed data, a moment that resonates in popular culture and scientific circles, and gives the Netflix sci-fi series 3 Body Problem<\/em> its backbone.<\/p>\n
