Muse unveil ‘The Handler’ lyric video

Muse’s latest opus (opus is probably the word, if you’re Muse) is released next week, in the shape of seventh studio album, ‘Drones’. Yesterday the band shared another pair of tracks from the record - ‘The Handler’ and ‘Reapers’ - following on from the already-shared ‘Mercy’, ‘Dead Inside’ and ‘Psycho’.

‘The Handler’ now has a lyric video that’s more than a little reminiscent of Smashing Pumpkins’ ‘Tonight Tonight’, but with Muse lyrics. “Execute demands!” it yells, sort of.

Muse are shortly to embark on a summer of ‘quite big’ European festival appearances, including headline slots at Download and Bilbao BBK Live.
