After a Labor Day Weekend that included seeing a bat in Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan Friday night (following a great live show I'll be blogging about later in the week), and almost plummeting to my death in an elevator at the Taj Majal in Atlantic City in the wee small hours of the morning on Saturday night, I've stumbled upon some interesting updates about Coldplay and the recent new album I broke news on last week. The band is releasing left over material from their Viva La Vida sessions as an EP titled "Prospekt's March" at the end of this year, December 26th. The EP will include the song "Luna," which was a collaboration with Kylie Minogue. Wondering what Prospekt is? This was the name of the person posting on Coldplay's website throughout last fall, winter, and spring while the band was recording their album. The posts included updates on the status of the new album, song titles, and other news, many being led to believe Prospekt would be the title of the album that eventually released as "Viva La Vida Or Death and All His Friends."
While the EP's songs are already recorded and ready for release, the band's previously mentioned upcoming album in 2009 has not been cut yet. Lead singer Chris Martin told the BBC, "We're going to release an album next December to end the decade." So, there you have it, Coldplay's 5th album will be out before we ring in 2010.
Both Rolling Stone and NME reported on this story, but NME's article had further details and specifics from the BBC interview. Both links to the respective articles are below:
