Muse LP features 'uncool' slap bass

Muse have revealed that one of the tracks on their upcoming album The Resistance features some slap bass.

Bassist Chris Wolstenholme told the NME that 'Unnatural Selection' from the follow-up to 2006's Black Holes And Revelations boasts the effect.

Wolstenhome said: "I know it's probably not ever been cool to play slap bass but on that song it just seemed to work, so we kept it in."

Regarding three-part album closer 'Exogenesis', frontman Matt Bellamy said: "I kind of had to get the other two to trust me a bit with that one. But I think it's turned out amazing."

The Resistance is released on September 14.

The full tracklisting of the album is as follows:

• 'Uprising'
• 'Resistance'
• 'Undisclosed Desires'
