Coldplay have surprised fans by unveiling a surprise new single a, surprising fans in the process. Check out 'Midnight' below.
'Midnight' is a surprising departure in sound for Chris Martin and co, adopting a Bon Iver-esque vocoder sound and ambient synth atmospherics. It's a strange one, probably for fans of their more experimental moments and less for anyone waiting for another 'Fix You'.
It seems to be building up to an all-out rave crescendo, that never happens.
The video, directed by Mary Wigmore, is just some spooky inverted silhouettes of the band larking around in the woods. It is believed that the track is a stand-alone single and not taken from their new album, expected later this year.

Coldplay are said to be releasing their sixth album later this year, with tour dates expected by summer.
