About the album

The Wow! Signal is named after a 72-second radio burst picked up by an Ohio telescope in 1977 and never explained, and Matt Bellamy has spent much of his career looking at the same patch of sky. Muse's tenth album was written mostly in late 2025, during a big change in his life, and produced by the band with Dan Lancaster and Aleks von Korff, who pushed them toward a more modern sound.

The singles came thick and fast: "Unravelling," "Be With You," "Cryogen," "Hexagons" and "Nightshift Superstar," with Ellie Goulding guesting on "Hush." Bellamy has said it may have been the easiest Muse album to make, and it plays that way, big and confident from "The Dark Forest" to "Space Debris." It topped the UK chart, as Muse albums do; the band have not said whether they have heard back from the aliens.
