Coldplay have confirmed that thier fifth studio album, 'Mylo Xyloto' (pronounced my-lo zy-letoe), will be released on October 24th.
Produced by Markus Dravs, Daniel Green and Rik Simpson, with additional composition by Brian Eno, 'Mylo Xyloto' is the follow-up to Coldplay's 2008 'Viva La Vida', which charted at Number One in 36 countries, including the UK and USA.
Released in digital, CD and vinyl formats, the 180-gram vinyl edition of 'Mylo Xyloto' will include a 12 x 36 poster. A special limited edition Pop-Up Album version will also be available, which will include a 12" x 12" hardback book containing graffiti pop-up art designed by David A. Carter, vinyl, CD and exclusive content including photographs, excerpts from the studio diary and the band's personal notebooks.
The reversible cover art has been revealed at www.coldplay.com. Half of the CDs will be packaged with the full color artwork as the cover while the other 50% will have the CD booklet flipped, showing the silver initials M X via a die-cut sheet placed over the color image.
'Paradise', the follow-up to Coldplays current single, Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall, will be released as the album's next single on September 12th, the same day it goes to radio.
