MuseMuse recently told the NME in an interview that their latest album ‘The Resistance’ will feature slap bass.

Once synominus with 80s funk, slap bass has slowly lost popularity as many frown upon it.

However, Chris Wolstenhome has admitted Muse’s lastest track ‘Unnatural Selection’, will feature the effect as apposed to Matt Bellamy’s trademark guitar.

“I know it’s not cool to play slap bass, but it just seemed to work in that song.. so we kept it in.” he addmitted.

Muse revealed the tracklisting for ‘The Resistance’ through the popular micro-blogging network Twitter. Matt Bellamy added he relied on his bandmates’ faith when producing ‘Exogenesis’ which is said to be an epic three-part closer.

“I had to get the other two to trust me with the one, but it turned out amazing.” he explained
