Default I THINK LP5 WILL BE CALLED 'MYLO XYLOTO'...

I'm a member of PRS and (as a member) you can search their online database of registered songs. I typed in Chris Martin and looked at all the newly registered work under 'Christopher Anthony John Martin' and a song called 'Mylo Xyloto' was registered on 6th July 2011!!! The writers registered for the song are all of Coldplay and Brian Eno. Wither they actually call the album Mylo Xyloto or not or that might be the lead single (maybe released on October 10th because the first letters of each word being MX).

Basically a swastika (ancient Indian symbol plus some nazi crap) formed with CCTV cameras. (One eye watching you, 1984 references in MM and so on).

What do you say?

I went to this artist's site (again, his name is Mylo, and the website is Xylo.me) and look what I found.

http://www.xylo.me/x-slate%20graffiti.JPG

Now don't tell me it doesn't remind you of two things: the new Coldplay font used in ETIAW and paint on walls from the ETIAW video.

There's definitely something here!

CCTV cameras arranged in the form of a swastika by Mylo found in a street off Brick Lane. When out into context with Mylo's other work this makes sense but prior to that I'd been asked on more than one occasion if this was far right graffiti.
All photographs copyright artofthestate 2008"



OMFG, Xylo, Mylo, eye watching you, graffiti, that shit is DEFENITELY related to the title AND to the album!!

Spray Can Soul is "A soul made of spray".
It was so obvious (no it wasn't, but I am very happy!)

Look at the 7th image at http://www.xylo.me/2-D.html

And go to properties or save it to see how it is called.

I laughed at it.

There is a xylophone related equipment called "Xylotote", as you can see here.

Make your calls... it might be a mix between this xylotote thing and that evidency found before. DU NO.

'Up With The Birds' has also been registered and Leonard Cohen is listen as one of the co-writers. Apparently the song contains 'samples' but it doesn't state where the samples are from. Might be a Leonard Cohen song. I think this could be the next single as well, it's the only song they've registered the length of (apart from ETIAW) and it's 3.30 - perfect radio time.

it’s a good noisy crowd that sing through the show at the Ahoy - none more so than when the band are on the B-Stage and the cheer for Will during Us Against The World is so huge that the song grinds to a halt amidst disbelieving giggles on stage - Roadie #42

For me...
"MX" is just the name for the Introsong.
I just guess "Morse Xylobrytes" Xylobrytes is just a different Word for Xylophone.
The Intro sounds for me like a Morsecode from the Aliens just in Xylophone sounds, and it would be stupid if they call the Album something with Xylophone/Xylobrytes when just the first song had something to do with it.

Still haven't a clue. I've been googling for the past half hour. Apparently the pre-fix 'xylo' means something relating to wood??? Maybe they've just invented the words themselves though, can't imagine them singing songs about wood lol, although ETIAW has the line 'maybe the trees are gone'. I remember hearing they were masterminding 'a brave new direction' and I guess it would be pretty brave to invent new words and call the album that.

I remember Chris saying the name was hard to pronounce, so it wasn't a sure thing yet.

"Mylo Xyloto" is maybe just a Synonym/Place holder for the actual Name.
And its not pretty hard to spell come on.
Even "Xylobrytes" is way harder :S.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
I would lol if the album was named something completely normal after y'all came up with the craziest words as possibilities.

I have heard them say maybe and probably too often to believe anything until it is written down somewhere reliable.
