This is good news, so why not have a new thread for it! :D

 

--------------------------------------------------------

 

The band are back in the studio for a couple of weeks with Brian Eno... Prospekt

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------

 

 

When it was first announced that Brian Eno was working with Coldplay back in 2007, some people overreacted, pissed their egghead idol was lowering himself to Chris Martin & Co.'s level. But now, a couple years later and with Viva la Vida and The Prospekt's March EP proving to be solid additions to the sweeping arena rock canon, both entities have prospered from the collaboration. Coldplay are not as terribly uncool as before; Eno can afford that new bathroom (and still make albums with David Byrne).

 

So news that the two are heading back to the studio for a couple weeks (via-- where else?-- Twitter) before Coldplay head out to Tokyo next month is decidedly less controversial than it once was.

 

The band are playing immense stadiums around the world much of this year, so the possibility of a new release seems slim. Then again, they seem to be in some sort of pleasantly-rocking zone right now, so we'll see. The band is likely to win at least a couple awards at this year's Grammys (airing Febuary 8)-- they did one of those song-collage Grammy ads, too.

 

While we hope Eno worked some magic on U2's new album, the uber-producer is keeping busy by denouncing Israel and stuff.

YAY! back in the studio! :dance:

 

i still doubt that they'll crank out an album before the end of the year, but i LOVE the sound of progress :nice:

I love the picture they used :lol:

 

 

Coldplay are not as terribly uncool as before

 

:lol:

Yes, great picture choice! (There's also a nice little article with the LiTii video on Pitchfork.)

 

Anyway, I don't know what the boys are up to, but I'm getting excited.

I'm hoping "prospekt" makes another appearance. After hearing the march, I was a little more convinced by those who were expecting a concept album of some sort. A rock opera would be epic sweet. Even it's relatively unlikely to happen, I know they didn't dream up "prospekt" for just one unexplained lyric in a song.

i just went to the coldplay twitter, but i dont see any tweets signed by prospekt, like the article on the official site says :thinking:. what does the tweet say?

There you go Chelsea :D

 

yes please

There you go Chelsea :D

 

 

:lol:! thanks mich, but i'm a moron. i COMPLETELY didn't see the first tweet, the big one in bold at the top. i have a tendancy to miss the big, obvious things on webpages. when things are in bold, big font at the top and are meant to be obvious, i always miss them.

:dance:

I cant wait. Another 10track album by the end of this year would be great. Coldplay wont disappoint

Oooohhh YAY :dance:

Go, boys!

Hoary for Coldplay being back in the studio, BOOO for them not being in Boston!

 

-Jesse-

 

PS i wonder if this "new album" will be VIVA inspired or something totally different?...

i reckon it will be totally different

Noted Bald Man :laugh3: :laugh3: :laugh3: :laugh3:

 

poor Brian

 

it seems they got along very well then, and I'm glad about it :nice:

Forgive me if I'm wrong but didn't Debs say she would bring the postcards to the boys the next time they're in the studio?? ...perhaps? maybe? lol

Coldplay return to the studio with Brian Eno

 

 

Rock stars make announcement via Twitter

 

Coldplay have returned to the studio with famed producer Brian Eno.

 

Eno produced the band's most recent album, 'Viva La Vida', and worked with U2 on their forthcoming release 'No Line On The Horizon'.

 

The band made the announcement today (January 23) that they were "back in the studio for a couple of weeks" via a Twitter update.

 

Meanwhile, Coldplay are preparing to embark on a Japanese tour next month before heading down under for dates in Australia and New Zealand.

this is good news, yay

Hail to the bald man.:lol:

 

Hopefully they're mainly experimenting with styles and focusing on some basic groundwork rather than trying to rush something out by this year (in spite of what they mentioned in past interviews). I want Viva's successor to blow me away just as much as Viva did, and that means the band is gonna want to take their time. Besides, the VLV era still has quite of bit of life in it yet!

This is very exciting to know!!I wanted them to continue working with Eno.And so it appears.I think he brings a lot to the table.I was kind of expecting Viva to have a little more songs like A Spell A Rebel Yell.A little more atmospheric i guess just because of Eno and they songs he does himself.Maybe they will experiement a little more with this album.Sounds promising though!!

It's totally possible that they may have one or two new songs to play for the stadium shows, considering they have 5 months between the Aus/NZ leg and the stadium shows.

oooooh sooo exciting! I'm so excited! It should be great. :D It'll be neat to see where they go with their sound and ideas now...

Question, is there any indication that they'll put Lhuna on the new album? I have a gut feeling that they will.

Pitchfork loves their coldplay :P
