Has anyone noticed that a lot of the new songs sound 80'sish?

 

Yes. By my speculations concerning popular music, we are currently heading into a new 80s, or we may already be there. Difficult to be precise.

That is not a synth, it's Matt playing with the knob on the whammy DT pedal

 

More likely to be just pulling around the octave with the sustainer on and massive feedback.

Not sure I'd agree TBH. All pretty modern sounding tracks IMO

[DramaQueen.]

I think that it's in 1:40

 

Ok, then I'm gonna go watch a movie, or something while I refresh this:LOL:

[ThomasGully]

just out of curiosity, what concrete proof do we have rather than 'leak guy' telling us to keep time off today?

 

I did notice that on banoffeesky.com's Facebook page they mentioned rendering a new muse video, and someone commented saying 'the handler' and they liked it? https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=831183836968278&id=117105601709442

I know its not saying anything like '7:30 TODAY HANDLER' but its something I guess?

[Archer29]

I'd say 7:30pm? This has been the standard time for the other releases

According to Gigwise, it was on the Spotify website that The Handler would be released 1st June

 

I am a Spotify noob so haven't checked to see if it's correct

 

 

This is apparently where they'll release it

[HomesickSubterranean]

Only DI is strikingly 80s. The tacky gated reverb on the snare just sounds so outdated

XFM ‏@Xfm

MUSE NEWS! @muse dropping another track tonight called 'The Handler'. We're preparing in the studio with a few listens to 'Reapers' @danocdj

 

Here come the handler

[Russ K.]

Ok, didn't know that, thanks ^^ Nevertheless it's great

 

Actually, there's single note he holds on his guitar and twisting that knob on pitch shifter

[HomesickSubterranean]

The lack of official word is confusing, but ok.

 

EDIT: also in Spotify, The Handler is greyed out again

 

EDIT 2: nvm lol it's still white

[CatchHellBlues]

What if I told you I had the album.

 

What if I told you I was the antichrist?

okay now everyone can freak out about the handler... THIS IS SOLID PROOF and no one can deny it

Nothing to do with timeframe. It's safe to assume that BS may well be making live visuals for The Handler at some point. Nothing concrete.

[CatchHellBlues]

Do we know in what form the Handler is being 'released'?

fair enough :')

[Howardm93]

Just over half an hour guys

[JimmyCake]

Probably musical.

[manualex]

What if I told you I had the album.

 

I would ask for some pictures of it. If you had a CD ofc

[Russ K.]

More likely to be just pulling around the octave with the sustainer on and massive feedback.

 

No, it's just detune side of the whammy dt, so it goes from +2 octaves, then +1 octaves , then +7 semitones , +6 etc, so on till -2 octaves

[Cyndris]

Probably musical.

 

Perhaps liquid?

[CatchHellBlues]

Probably musical.

 

iTunes etc.?

[lurkinglurkerlurksagain]

Mostly "Dead Inside" and "Reapers" for me.
