Muse have announced their new album Will of the People. It’s out August 26 via Warner. The new single “Compliance” arrives today with a new video directed by Jeremi Durand. It was shot in Poland and inspired by Looper. Watch it below and find the album’s artwork.
“Will of the People was created in Los Angeles and London and is influenced by the increasing uncertainty and instability in the world,” Matt Bellamy said in a statement. “A pandemic, new wars in Europe, massive protests & riots, an attempted insurrection, Western democracy wavering, rising authoritarianism, wildfires and natural disasters and the destabilization of the global order all informed Will of the People. It has been a worrying and scary time for all of us as the Western empire and the natural world, which have cradled us for so long, are genuinely threatened. This album is a personal navigation through those fears and preparation for what comes next.”
Will of the People is Muse’s follow-up to 2018’s Simulation Theory. Read the Sunday Review of the 2001 record Origin of Symmetry.
