Muse announce 10th album The WOW! Signal – listen to its lead single now
Muse have announced their 10th studio album The WOW! Signal, which is set to arrive 26 June via Warner Records.
The trio’s first full-length outing since 2022’s Will of the People, The WOW! Signal opens with the “opening salvo” of a lead single, Be With You, which starts with layered electronica and synth elements before Matt Bellamy enters the fray with some blistering high-gain guitar. Check it out below:
Per a press release, The WOW! Signal takes its name from a 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 ‘6EQUJ5’ and wrote ‘WOW!’ on the printout beside it – giving the signal its name and cementing its place in scientific and pop-culture lore.”
As such, Muse’s new album seeks to explore “cosmic mystery, existential hope, and the exhilarating possibility of contact with something far greater than ourselves”.
