After a period of radio silence, the acclaimed rock band Muse has announced their 10th studio album "The Wow! Signal" set for release on June 26, 2026. The band partnered with Sent into Space to launch a specially-designed tablet 33 kilometers into the atmosphere to premiere the video for the album's lead single "Be With You" and officially announce the new album. Muse is known for their cosmic, interstellar themes in past albums, and this new release continues that trend, taking inspiration from the mysterious "Wow! Signal" detected by astronomers in 1977.
Why it matters
Muse has built a devoted fanbase over their 20+ year career by consistently delivering ambitious, genre-blending albums that explore themes of space, science, and the cosmos. The announcement of their 10th studio album, "The Wow! Signal", continues this tradition and will likely be highly anticipated by their loyal fans as well as music critics who have praised the band's ability to blend progressive rock, electronica, and symphonic elements.
The details
The album announcement teaser featured references to the "Wow! Signal", a 72-second anomalous radio signal detected by astronomers in 1977 that was unusually strong and at the frequency of neutral hydrogen, potentially indicating an extraterrestrial origin. The teaser also included the code "6EQUJ5" which represents the intensity of the Wow! Signal. Rather than containing a hidden message, the numbers and letters simply reflect the shape of the signal's Gaussian profile. Muse is partnering with the space company Sent into Space to launch a tablet 33 kilometers into the atmosphere to premiere the video for the album's lead single "Be With You" and officially announce the new album.
- The "Wow! Signal" was detected by astronomers on August 15, 1977.
