Will Champion and Guy Berryman both appeared on Steve Lamacq's afternoon show today on BBC6Music where they spent time discussing their forthcoming Glastonbury appearance and, perhaps more pertinently for the fans, the fifth album. You can listen again on via the BBC iPlayer if you are in the UK. Alternatively you can download the interview via our Multimedia forum now if you are having difficulty with the stream.
During the interview Guy Berryman told the listeners that the original concept ideas for LP5 are completely different to those today, and that the album is likely to have either 10 or 11 tracks to it. Speaking on Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall, Guy also said that the song was an example of a different approach the band are taking but is by no means indicitave of the overall era, since all the songs are different to the next.
Will, also speaking on LP5, told Steve Lamacq that the title of the new album is not yet 100% confirmed, but was more cagey than Guy on providing any further details of the record. He did describe next week's Glastonbury slot as important due to the expectation of headlining rather than 'playing in the sunshine', referring to the band's early Glastonbury appearances.
What did you think of the interview? Were you expecting more information on the new album or was it more than you had hoped? Full discussion on this interview is in the Coldplay forum now. Your comments are appreciated!
