Muse album in progress

Muse are currently in the middle of making their third album with the producer Rich Costey. Having spent a few weeks in Air Studios (London), as well as a stint recording in Sawmills, the band are presently organising where to finish off the rest of the record. L.A., Vancouver and Ireland seem to be the current possibilities. Expect to hear some new tracks during summer with the release date of the album set towards autumn.
