Coldplay album title just looks nice on paper
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 21 September 2011
Just in case any of you are still trying to work out what ‘Mylo Xyloto’, the name of the new Coldplay album, means, well stop being stupid, cos it means nothing. It just looks nice when written down. And sort of represents the sound of the new album inside Chris Martin’s crazy head. OK?
Asked about the new LP title, Martin told MTV: “It doesn’t mean anything, it just represents the album’s music somehow. It was an attempt to… it just felt fresh to us. And it sort of has a nice appearance to it”.
Adding that the totally made up name had been on a list of possibles for two years before they went with it, he added: “Maybe in the old days before anyone knew what a Snickers was, that word would have sounded weird as well, or Google… or Yahoo! So why not try and invent something new?”
Answers on a postcard please.
