Muse : Uno

[B]Muse[/B] give morbid introspection a good name.

West Country misfits Muse have just come off
tour
with Feeder. 'Uno' puts a slightly more compelling spin on similar indie ingredients, being a twisted tango lament played with venomous savagery and brimming with small-town rage. Berating the girl who had the temerity to break his heart, Matthew Bellamy howls and sobs like Thom Yorke at his most turbulent, and the end result is pretty fine. Muse give morbid introspection a good name.
