Details about two songs thought to be included on Coldplay's forthcoming album 'Mylo Xyloto' have emerged online.
In a blog on the band's website, their roadie, who often writes about the group, said Coldplay were set to return to the rehearsal room this week to run through their new songs ahead of the album's release in October.
He then went on to detail two new songs – the first, 'Up In Flames', was written before the band's appearance at the iTunes Festival in London in July.
“Apparently, Chris had started the song the previous night, so it was less than 24 hours old at that point,” R42 wrote.
“It was hypnotic in its simplicity, but devastatingly, achingly gorgeous. The final version has lost none of this and is a masterwork of restraint. It hasn’t been crammed with a million ideas and embellishments. Every part is there simply to enhance the emotional impact. I can only predict floods of tears in every quarter.”
The roadie also spoke about another song - ' DLIBYH' - that “couldn't be more different”, adding: “It’s almost violently life affirming.”
'Mylo Xyloto', the follow-up to 2008's 'Viva La Vida and Death And All His Friends', will be released in digital, CD and vinyl formats on October 24.
