On Sunday we all went nuts over a 12-second snippet from Muse, alleging to be the British rock band’s first single off upcoming album Drones. Details on Drones have been scarce, until now: it drops June 9 via Warner Bros, and below is the track listing and artwork.
Drones was co-produced by Muse and Robert John “Mutt” Lange, and contains 12 tracks.
“To me, ‘Drones’ are metaphorical psychopaths which enable psychopathic behavior with no recourse,” says Matt Bellamy in a presser. “The world is run by Drones utilizing Drones to turn us all into Drones. Drones explores the journey of a human, from their abandonment and loss of hope, to their indoctrination by the system to be a human drone, to their eventual defection from their oppressors.”
