Rolling Stone Talks To Chris Martin On Prospekt's March EP

In November, Coldplay will release the Prospekt's March EP - eight tracks that they failed to finish in time for Viva La Vida. "We're English so it takes us a while to be really ambitious," says Chris Martin, checking in from the Bakery, the band's London studio, report Rolling Stone.

"They aren't ambitious in a Kid A way," he adds, but songs like 'Postcards From Far Away' and 'Rainy Day' definately broaden Coldplay's sound. "It's a risk for us," says Martin. "But what else are you going to do? Can't keep on trying to make 'Yellow' every day." Martin was in the midst of prepping for the band's current US tour. "There's no question that, at the moment, we're better live that we've ever been. Not quite as good as Pearl Jam, but we're getting there."

We agree, after kicking it with our homeys Jay-Z and Beyonce at the band's intimate warmup gig at New York's Hammerstein ballroom. Later, we got wasted with bassist Guy Berryman on Irish Car Bombs (Guinness with a shot of Baileys and Jameson). "That last drop is so good," he said.
