Muse Won't Be Releasing Their Next Album Any Time Soon

Muse don't look likely to release any new material soon, according to bassist Chris Wolstenholme.

Despite their last album being released over two years ago, the band are still a long way off from recording anything, with only a handful of songs having been started.

Speaking to BBC 6Music, Wolstenholme said: "There's about six or seven songs that we've started work on but they're still very young. I don't think there's anything that we're ready to record yet."

"We just wanted to get started this year, to get the ball rolling a little bit rather than wait for a year doing nothing then get in the studio, and go, 'What do we do now?'. Sometimes you can suffer from having too much time off."

Asked about what to expect from their new work, Wolstenholme hinted to a change in direction:

"We're looking to do new things and we'll just try and do things that are kind of alien to us, you know, and things we haven't done before 'cos that's what we find challenging about making music."
