Muse unveil new single 'Pressure' with 'Back to the Future' themed video: Watch
Muse have shared the music video for their latest single 'Pressure,' taken from their upcoming album 'Simulation Theory.' It's the fourth single previewed from the album and follows the previously released tracks 'Thought Contagion,' 'Dig Down,' 'Something Human' and 'The Dark Side.'
Continuing with the retro-themed look and feel of the album, the music video for 'Pressure' is a nod to the 80s Speilberg classic 'Back To The Future.' The video opens with a POV shot of someone wearing a VR headset and then cuts to what looks like the famous prom scene from the classic sci-fi adventure. Muse takes on the role of the band at the prom, and frontman Matt Bellamy appears to be dressed as Marty McFly as he entertains the high school kids. This is the second reference to 'Back to the Future' by Muse so far in the run-up to the album release. The video for 'The Dark Side' featured Bellamy cruising around in what looked like a DeLorean through a retro-style virtual world reminiscent of 'Tron.'
