For those of you chomping at the bit to hear some more from Coldplay, you don’t have long to wait. The pop-rockers have been in the studio slaving over “killer” sounds for their fifth studio album, and according to recent posts on the band’s website, you should have it in your hot hands by the end of the year.
According to the mysterious "Roadie #42,” who has been posting updates on the band’s website, the band are “very much back in the exploratory phase again” and have nutted out the “record's skin and bones, if you will. The ‘turning into something beautiful’ bit, is the result of two methodologies”.
“The songs haven't assumed their final beautiful form yet, but they're a very long way from their skin and bones phase,” says Roadie #42. “What's impossible not to conclude though, is that they have some absolutely killer tunes. I have no idea whether the fellas left for their break proud of what they've achieved so far and excited about what they have here, but I really hope so. They should be”.
Working again with famed producer Brian Eno, Coldplay have been tracking the album in London and Budapest, after completing their recent tour of South America. In an attempt to shake things up, Eno has been urging singer Chris Martin to work by himself, and randomly pairing up band members to help push the envelope.
The yet to titled album is the follow-up to 2008’s ‘Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends’, which sold 8.1 million worldwide.
In other Coldplay news, the band is the latest in a long line to get ‘Glee’-full!
After initially denying the hit show access to their chart topping catalogue, the UK four pieces have finally relented.
“At the beginning a lot of people didn’t know what we were,” said creator Brian Murphy. “My favorite rejection was Bryan Adams. Coldplay and Bryan Adams were really the only rejections. But Coldplay called a week ago and said, ‘We’re sorry, you can have our catalogue.”
