LOS ANGELES — Matt Bellamy wrote Muse's new album in a Santa Monica recording studio painstakingly decorated to resemble the so-called red room from "Twin Peaks."
Crimson curtains, leather armchairs, black-and-white zigzag flooring: The 44-year-old frontman of one of England's biggest rock bands reproduced every detail of the otherworldly chamber from the cult-fave TV show he remembers devouring during Muse's first tour on a bus back in the early 2000s.
"It just sets a certain tone, you know?" he says, looking around the space with obvious pride on a recent afternoon.
