Additional information
According to Matt Bellamy, "Compliance is about the promise of safety and reassurance sold to us by powerful entities during times of vulnerability. Gangs, governments, demagogues, social media algorithms & religions seduce us with misleading untruths and comforting fables. They want us to join their narrow worldview in exchange for obedience and turning a blind eye to our own internal voice of reason & compassion. They just need our Compliance."[3]
A dancy 80s synthpop song, Compliance is based around organic instruments, with a lead synth line through the choruses and the main bass line driving through the verses. The synth sound has presumably been inspired by Van Halen's song Jump.[4] The guitar lick during the verses is reminiscent to the Knight Rider theme song.[5]
Music Video
Directed by Jeremi Durand, the music video is loosely continuing the theme from Won't Stand Down's music video. More can be read here.
