A couple of days ago the Devonshire trio dropped a long-awaited one-off single ‘Dig Down‘, which has a lot of resemblance to the track ‘Madness’ from their 2012′ album The 2nd Law (stream the music video below). Today Muse have unveiled behind-the-scenes footage for the clip, which will leave you wondering where to buy those cool glasses that Matt shows off in the video. Check it out below!
And it appears that Muse have more songs in the style of ‘Dig Down’ waiting to be released. Here is what Muse frontman recently told Radio X:

In addition, we will have a chance to witness how the musicians are developing those new songs, writing and recording them in the studio and releasing them straight away (via NME):
