Coldplay Under Pressure To Meet New Album Deadline

As fresh material surfaces...

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin has revealed that a sudden burst of inspiration has put the band under pressure to meet the deadline for their new album.

In a hand written message on the band’s website, Martin said that the follow-up to 2005’s, ‘X&Y,’ is the album that they always “dreamed” they’d make.

“The self-imposed deadline looms and new songs have arrived. ‘Famous Old Painters’ + ‘Glass Of Water,’” writes Martin. “It’s as if the pressure is a catalyst. The pressure to finished has triggered a new writing surge. However, the deadline still stands.”

He continued: “With two new songs to explore and record, there’s a lot of extra work. But it can still be done. The sense of focus in the studio is palpable. Much credit must go to producer Markus Dravs for pushing to the point of exhaustion but never beyond.

“It feels like a very dense record. There are so many melodies and colours packed into a relatively short space (42 mins). As you’d expect with Brian Eno there’s experimentation and exploration but the music still has integrity. It’s real and honest. There’s no posturing or bombast.”

There is still no confirmed release date for the album.

  • @Gigwise It's because the only way they could get Dave Rowntree to play the drums was to hypnotise him. Too strenuous otherwise, poor chap.
