The Sun is reporting today that Coldplay are preparing for the release of a surprise album within a year of Viva La Vida hitting stores. Productive recording sessions with Brian Eno has left many more unused songs in the can, which the band are now considering releasing.
The Sun’s source at the label said: “The Viva La Vida sessions were incredibly fruitful. They gelled brilliantly with Brian and recorded much more music than they could fit on one album. Standard industry contracts tend to be for six albums, so if they provide some kind of compilation after their next album they will be free agents and able to renegotiate their contract or head out on their own.”
The band are currently XFM DJs for the month of August having already broadcast three parts of their ‘Residency’ show. Listen to them all again here.
