Alt rockers Coldplay announced eight song titles from their upcoming album via their website recently. Songs from that record will be "Lost", "Cemeteries Of London", "Violet Hill", "Poppy Fields", "42", "Yes!", "Leftrightleftrightleft" and "Rainy Day". No release date has been set for the album, but it's expected some time in 2008.
According to the band's post, "Expect a short, concise record with no fat and at least two top-division songs released independently...We're still a few months from finishing but already the arguments about track listing have begun." Recorded in Barcelona, the album is said to be "infused [with] the sights, sounds and flavors of Latin America and Spain...The music and lyrics have begun to reflect the strengthening Hispanic theme...No maracas or castanets, but a vibrancy and colorfulness that owes much to the atmosphere of Buenos Aires and Barcelona."
The album will be the follow-up to 2005's #1 hit X&Y.
Hey, Coldplay, what do you know. News of track titles is hardly exciting to anyone but hardcore fans, but it's nice to know this band is still plugging away. Coldplay has earned enough cred to coast and still go platinum for a few more years, so expect these songs to feature piano and hushed lyrics and all that typical shit and expect it to debut at #1. Not that I hate Coldplay, I just don't like people who write on their pianos. And speaking of Chris Martin, does anybody else find it weird he's on the new albums by Jay-Z, Nelly Furtado, Swizz Beats and Kanye West? How the hell did this falsetto singing Brit get hip-hop street cred?
