Coldplay to release 'Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall', 'Major Minus' and additional tracks

Coldplay are planning to release a physical edition of new single Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall, the official site has confirmed today. ETIAW will be pressed onto physical formats for June 27th. The track will be available on CD, limited edition seven inch blue vinyl and two bonus digital releases.

If that isn't enough, Coldplay will add brand new track Major Minus, to accompany ETIAW. An iTunes exclusive bundle will be announced next week, containing as yet unannounced tracks. Looking on the Digital Stores website where the items are available for pre-order, Rolling Stone says about ETIAW: "The first single from Coldplay's upcoming fifth album, which gets in touch with the enthusiastic, imaginative spirit of early hip-hop while sounding like a mixture of U2, the Velvet Underground and rave music," and MTV said: "Vaguely trance-y, slightly meditative and most definitely sunny, ‘Teardrop’ is basically four minutes of pure, unadulterated uplift."

More on this release news is at the ETIAW subforum now. We will add the best of your comments to this site later! Read on for the full Coldplay announcement explaining all the formats... [thanks Coldplay12 & _Tash]
