Muse have released their new single “Pressure,” the latest track from the group’s upcoming album Simulation Theory. The video continues their collaboration with director Lance Drake, picking up where “Something Human” left off and leading into an homage of classic pop culture moments from the 80s. “Pressure” centers on a high school dance that takes a very strange turn and features a guest appearance by Terry Crews as a seemingly ordinary principle that saves the day.
Simulation Theory is available November 9th via Warner Bros. Records for purchase in three formats: Standard (11 tracks), Deluxe (16 tracks), and Super Deluxe (21 tracks). The expanded tracklisting features an acoustic gospel version of “Dig Down,” The UCLA Bruin Marching Band feature on “Pressure,” a live version of “Thought Contagion,” acoustic versions of several tracks including “Something Human,” and alternate reality versions of “Algorithm” and “The Dark Side.”
Anyone purchasing Simulation Theory through the Muse’s official store will get early access to tickets for the 2019 tour, which has announced North American stops in New York, Las Vegas, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Toronto and Washington. UK shows include London, Bristol and Manchester. In Europe, the band will play in Paris, Madrid, Milan, Lisbon, Moscow and many more across Europe with further shows to be announced.
