Coldplay fans ponder album release details
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 28 July 2011
With a new Coldplay album on the way at some point this year, fans have been speculating wildly after a forum user on fansite Coldplaying.com checked the PRS database for new songs by Chris Martin and found one. Forum poster Spike – apparently someone involved with Glaswegian three piece Herculean – discovered that one Christopher Anthony John Martin registered a song called ‘Mylo Xyloto’ on 6 Jul, writers for which are listed as Coldplay and Brian Eno.
Because that news is only mildly interesting, the fan in question went on to suggest that ‘Mylo Xyloto’ could be the title of the band’s new album, or that the title could actually be a cryptic hint that that album will be released on 10 Oct – its initials being MX (or 1010 in Roman numerals).
Others then went on to guess that this may have something to do with an east London street artist called Xylo who has on at least one occasion been referred to as Mylo (possibly by mistake). Or it might have something to do with a xylophone. Or, hey, it might just be the name of one song. Who knows?
A spokesperson for EMI declined to comment. Stick that up your conspiracy theory.
