In an interview with NME, Bellamy said that he'd like the idea of the band "totally resetting" and going back to their hometown of Teignmouth, Devon to rehearse and record the next album. However, it appears that this was not the case, at least as of yet, as the first studio pictures that started to emerge were from an unknown studio in Los Angeles.

Based on the video Bellamy posted on his Instagram on March 12th, 2021<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CMT4hOxjpeI/</ref> while playing Explorers, it is presumed the recording started in late Spring, 2021, in an unknown studio in Los Angeles.

Information

Matt first hinted at working on new Muse material in an interview with ALT 98.7 FM backstage at the ALTerEGO Festival in January of 2020 where he said that the goal for 2020 was to work on new Muse material, allthough the plans were probably halted due to the coronavirus pandemic as the three were unable to get together due to the lockdowns. Bellamy instead focused on releasing his solo material. Matt also hinted on working on Muse material in a May interview with Zane Lowe on Beats 1 Radio, saying that he has a few pieces written that are suited for Muse.[1] In an interview with Rolling Stone, also in May, he said that that the idea would be to record the album in 2021 and potentially go on a tour in 2022. [2]

Bellamy confirmed he started writing the new Muse album in an interview with The Jaded Hearts Club Band for The Sun.[3] He also hinted at the band working on the next album in a brief Instagram comment in March 2021.[4]

In the interview, Bellamy said the following: "I started writing when all the protests and all the chaos were kicking off. It’s a weird thing to say but it suits the music I write. It keeps you a little bit on edge.".

Bellamy jokingly said, in an Instagram comment reply on Dom Howard's Instagram post, that the album would include "emotional gasps and many usages of the word ‘soul’.".

Recording

In an interview with NME, Bellamy said that he'd like the idea of the band "totally resetting" and going back to their hometown of Teignmouth, Devon to rehearse and record the next album. However, it appears that this was not the case, at least as of yet, as the first studio pictures that started to emerge were from an unknown studio in Los Angeles. Aleks Von Korff, who previously worked with Muse as an engineer on Simulation Theory, and produced Bellamy's solo material - songs like Tomorrow's World, posted a picture from the studio with the wooden Kawai piano. It is presumed he's also producing the album or at least some tracks on it, or is assisting with production.

First recording sessions started in late spring, 2021, in this unknown studio in Los Angeles, with only Matt, Dom, and Von Korff present, with Wolstenholme being away (probably due to coronavirus restrictions at the time).

Between April and June, they took a break from recording to work on a remix of Origin of Symmetry. In early June, Chris came to L.A. to join Dom and Matt continuing work on the new album.
