Coldplay will release their 10th album, Moon Music, on October 4 via Parlophone / Atlantic. This is the second volume of their Music From the Spheres series, and like 2021’s From Earth With Love (the first in the series), it was produced by Max Martin. While the full tracklist hasn’t been shared yet, they have released first single “feelslikeimfallinginlove” which is the kind of widescreen, all-inclusive anthemic pop you expect from Chris Martin and co. these days. You can listen to that below.
Props to Coldplay on Moon Music‘s physical release, as the band are trying to make the carbon footprint for it as small as possible. From PR:
This will be the world’s first album released as a 140g EcoRecord rPET LP, with each copy containing nine recycled PET-plastic bottles recovered from post-consumer waste. This will prevent the manufacture of more than 25 metric tonnes of virgin plastic, and provide an 85% reduction in manufacturing process CO2 emissions/kg compared to traditional 140g vinyl. Additionally, the band have collaborated with long-time partners The Ocean Cleanup to create an additional format: the Notebook Edition EcoRecord rPET LP. The rPET for this edition comprises 70% river plastic, intercepted by The Ocean Cleanup from the Rio Las Vacas, Guatemala, and prevented from reaching the Gulf of Honduras and the Atlantic Ocean. The CD editions of Moon Music will be the world’s first to be released on EcoCD, created from 90% recycled polycarbonate, sourced from post-consumer waste streams. This will provide at least a 78% CO2/kg emission reduction, and avoid the manufacture of more than five metric tonnes of virgin plastic.
Coldplay had already made efforts to lower their carbon footprint on their Music of the Spheres tour, which got the endorsement of MIT Environmental Solutions Initiative. They’re on tour now and headline Glastonbury next weekend. All dates are listed below.
