Coldplay have revealed that they have almost finished work on the much-anticipated follow-up to their 2008 LP ‘Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends’
Speaking on the band's official blog, an anonymous writer named Roadie #42 said: "Back in the studio, the songs are now very much pushing their heads above the soil and straining towards the light,"
It continued: "[Producer] Brian [Eno] is back in the fold this week and the fellas are gathered around the mic for much of the time. It's a tremendous thing to get close up to. When the guys are belting it out with the track on headphones, all that can be heard in the room is the blast of harmonies. It's huge, powerful and yet completely unaided by technology, just a pure, organic human bloom."
"My office is next door, I hear Chris [Martin] standing in the doorway of Dav's room listening. 'That's amazing, just great'. He stays a while and listens, then heads off down the stairs proclaiming to no-one in particular, 'Maybe this album won't be so bad after all'."
"I suspect that the band has had a reasonable idea all along of how things will feel when they're finished, in the same way that a sculptor sees the finished piece, but just needs to dig it out of the block.' There's been much chiselling and smoothing and now things are really developing a recognisable form and an emotional resonance."
Coldplay, who are headliners at this year’s Glastonbury festival, are yet to give a release date for their as-of-yet untitled studio album, although many have speculated that a release in late 2011 is likely.
