When you’re as big as Coldplay, you are granted a series of magical powers. Which ones? Teleportation, for one thing. That one’s useful when you need to buy baby Apple an obscure, handcrafted something-or-other only available in, say, Slovenia. Another magical power? The power to Take Over the Web.

One last round of mixing is all that stands between now and the release of Coldplay's next album. With production assistance from Brian Eno and Markus Dravs, the group plans to release its fourth studio record sometime this summer. Chris Martin and Co. made pop-chart history when their last LP X&Y (2005) became the first worldwide top-selling album of the century. As reported at Billboard.com, Coldplay will release the as-yet-untitled album through Capitol Records despite issues at the label's parent company, EMI, which was recently bought out by Terra Firma.

Found in: Music, NewsColdplay making progress on new album
A month and a half ago, we told you about progress in the happy world of Coldplay. Today, we provide you with some more scraps of information. Recently, a new hand-written (Although with that handwriting, “hand-scrawled” may be more accurate. We kid!) message was posted on Coldplay.com. The message reveals the names of two more songs: “Famous Old Painters” and “Glass of Water.” The two song titles confirm Paste’s suspicions: the new record is definitely a concept album about Paul Cézanne’s still lifes. You heard it here first. The message also describes the as-yet-untitled album’s sound and substance: “It feels... read more

So consider this news item to be a bit of altruism on Paste’s behalf. We want to let you know that a tiny band from England called Coldplay is putting together its fourth album. Coldplay’s first album since 2005’s unheard X&Y is currently untitled, but the band recently updated... read more
