Muse

Muse have widened the goalposts and re-established what rock is allowed to stand for. So raved Englands New Musical Express, reviewing the British indie-rock groups breakthrough third album, 2003s Absolution. Fronted by singer Matt Bellamy whose voice has been described as haunting and his prose as intensely paranoid Muse are too noisy to be Depeche Mode (despite their New Wave tendencies) and too dramatic to be Interpol (despite their heavy guitars), showing close similarities to the curling sounds of Radiohead or grandiose character of Arcade Fire. Their music is smart, enigmatic and so hectic at times that its just soothing the kind of sound into which you can sink and lose yourself. Fitting, then, that the group named their upcoming single Supermassive Black Hole. Muses fourth full-length, Black Holes and Revelations, due in July, should only offer further proof that they have mastered the craft of making sophisticated rock thats melodical, emotional and outright sexy.
