muse has begun writing their new album

muse took a break from writing during their tour, which they will be done with in august, then they will devote all of their attention to the new album.

“We’ve just started writing songs for the new album, whatever it’s going to be, you know?” he said. “It’s going great, we just started. We’re right at the tip at the moment and I think the point is that we’ve been on the road for so long… It’s really about getting back together and getting the ball rolling again and seeing whether it’ll roll.”

they also said that this album may not be your conventional album. they don’t have intentions of following the standard mold, but they’re not sure yet what it will be.

“What will come out of that is impossible to say,” he declared. “It may just be albums, but it may be a stream of singles, or it may just be one 50-minute symphony, do you know what I mean? Who knows?”

stay tuned for more information as it develops.

update 1/11/09: bassist chris wolstenholme had this to say regarding the release of the new album:

It would be nice to have the album out in the second half of next year but we have not set ourselves any targets. It is more important for us to make the best album we have made to date and if that means it comes out in 2010 then we don’t mind. Hopefully it will be sooner though. Chris.

update 5/22/09: the new album will be called “the resistance” and is expected to be released sometime in september.
