Muse have released their brand new single ‘Thought Contagion’ today. The accompanying video is available to watch above. Directed by Lance Drake (who also helmed the band’s ‘Dig Down’ video) ‘Thought Contagion’ is an ‘80s infectious neon love story.

Matt Bellamy said of the track: “The meaning of the song ‘Thought Contagion’ is about how other people’s thoughts, ideas and beliefs can sometimes infect your mind, get into your head and change the way you think yourself”.

Earlier this week the band were presented with the prestigious NME award for ‘Best Festival Headliner’ after their epic set at Reading & Leeds festival in 2017, which saw AC/DC’s Brian Johnson join the band on stage for a blistering rendition of ‘Back In Black’.

‘Thought Contagion’ was produced by Rich Costey and Muse, mixed by Adam Hawkins.
