What is going on?

[tyler21]

Okay, so a couple of days ago, the oracle answered a question about some band named "Mylo Xyloto" about only having a single song, and no information on the band. I looked into it, and I found the "bands" iTunes page. http://bit.ly/1437jIy

(click through to find the bands page)

 

The song on the single sounds like UFO sound effects set to very Coldplay-esque soundscapes. On the page, there is also an album called "S.O.S." with each track listed as a different number. Each song preview sounds like something Coldplay would release. The weirder thing is that when you google search this album, you can get to a listing on some website with the album, and previews for each song ( http://www.myfreesound.com/album/id:479264610/S_O_S_#play/tid/479264621 )

When you click on the preview button (at least on my iPad) it gives you a link to an embedded YouTube video, all of which haveing to do with Coldplay, most durring the mylo era. Does this have something to do with Coldplay? Are these the B-Sides we never got, just secret? Or should I just take off my tin foil hat and go sit in the corner and think about my life?

Have you read the answer she gave?

 

The Oracle replies:

 

Strange that there is no artwork, no information and no band photo.

This has nothing to do with Coldplay at all and I urge you not to buy that single (1'03!) or album as I suspect it's not going to be what you think.

 

Firstly Mylo Xyloto didn't exist until the band came up with the name. Mylo may be a familiar name but Xyloto is original.

Secondly, the "artist" could have changed the details after MX came out but I assure you, that it is not legitimate at all.

 

They have a page on another site and the "album" is dodgy live recordings and video clips.

Stay well clear and I'll investigate further.

S.O.S. is a song by Waylayers, from their new EP, Fault Lines. This is a so-well-known band of this foruns, because of a song called "The Shine" that was once told to be Coldplay's.
