    [Round-up] Coldplay Plan EP for Christmas, Hint at Next Album For 2009

    stevelamacq1.jpgIf you've been on a different planet for the last 7 days, here's a recap of what you need to know about Coldplay's forthcoming studio projects...

     

    Just before hitting the road again for their current European tour, Coldplay stopped by BBC Radio's "6 Music" for a sit-down in which they revealed their next studio projects. The chat was with "6 Music" host Steve Lamacq [pictured] and, for some reason, R.E.M. frontman and friend of Coldplay Michael Stipe. When Stipe asked Coldplay frontman Chris Martin about rumors of a new Coldplay record coming out this year, Martin said, "We're going to put an EP out at Christmas called Prospekt's March, and we're going to release an album next December."

     

    Martin asked Coldplay drummer Will Champion, "Is it [the EP] called Prospekt's Songs or Prospekt's March?" before asking Stipe his preference. Stipe preferred the latter, and the band concurred.

    According to a Rock & Roll Daily report, the tentatively titled EP will feature leftovers from Coldplay's sessions with Brian Eno for Viva la Vida. One of the songs expected to appear on the EP is "Luna", the collaboration with Kylie Minogue that the band originally deemed too "sexy." Martin told "6 Music" that the EP will come out on December 26 or "something like that."

     

    Martin followed the news about the EP with the announcement that Coldplay's fifth studio album will be ready "by November 2009 to end the decade." After that record comes out, Martin said the band might lay low for a while: "And then we're gonna be 'Whooosh!' 'Where've they gone?' Just like Keyser Söze."
