Love the song, love the video! What do you think?

It’s about time they have some new material! Love them!

Coldplay will release a new album in 2010, according to Chris Martin.

The band are currently at work in their own studio, thought to be a converted church, in London. Speaking in a video interview with Globo.com – which you can watch by clicking below – Martin said he wants to release the album “hopefully this Christmas”. He added that the band are being extra security-conscious to make sure their new material doesn’t leak online.

“There’s only two people in the whole building who know how to open all the recording files,” Martin explained. “Even we [Coldplay] don’t know how to do it. We couldn’t even steal our own music at the moment. You would have to be a computer genius and a great burglar to get into the building, and download it, and mix it.”

The band also denied that the album would be their last for label EMI. “I think we have about 500 more,” Martin initially joked, before adding: “No, seriously, we signed for a lot.”

The album will be Coldplay’s first since 2008′s ‘Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends’

Can’t Wait!!

That is one strange video… and I love me some Coldplay.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Coldplay’s Chris Martin has suggested that he plans to split up the band at the end of 2009.

The frontman told the Daily Express that his decision was based on his view that bands should call it a day before they get too old – saying he wanted to go out with a blast by keeping as busy as possible until 2009 ends.

“I’m 31 now and I don’t think that bands should keep going past 33,” he said. “So, we’re trying to pack in as much as possible. Up until the end of next year, we’ll just go for it in every sense.

“I don’t believe in time off. We’ve still got most of our hair, we can still fit into our musical trousers and we’ve got to make the most of that.”

Chris Martin has said that a Blur song was the first inspiration for the band when they began recording their new album.

According to the singer, Sing from Blur’s debut album Leisure was a starting point for the writing of Coldplay album Viva La Vida, reports Xfm.

“Sing was the first song we plagiarized for the new album”, said Chris.

The band recently presented Xfm’s Residency slot and spoke of some of their more unexpected influences.

German metal band Rammstein were praised by the band, as were 1980′s pop band A-Ha who Martin called “one of our formative influences”.

“[The Strokes] are the classic band of our generation. And I would argue for Muse as well. And Arcade Fire. And that’s just the boys! Beyonce’s better than all of us”, he added.

Elsewhere, MTV reports that the band recently enlisted top directors Hype Williams and Anton Corbijn to film two different videos for their track Viva La Vida.
