![]() ![]() So we have ‘Sympathy For The Devil’-style “ whoop woo“s via The Rolling Stones, a guitar groove that brings to mind ‘Jessica’ by The Allman Brothers and the feeling of an early Fleetwood Mac jam. But this is Coldplay – for a long time now one of the world’s biggest rock bands – sounding more like a big rock band than they have before. Of the two new songs unveiled today (October 24), ‘Orphans’ is the most typically Coldplay-y in that we have your average straining-on-the-bog vocal from Chris Martin and that mood of euphoria tinged with a bit of the bittersweet that they’ve made their own. But – surprise! – these tracks find Coldplay sounding both modern – riding the nu-jazz wave – and classic, like your dad’s Top Gear car CD, and sounding as assured as they ever have done. Coldplay are back with two new tracks! All the way from 1919, if the posters (above), quaint local newspaper classifieds and arch, typewritten notes teasing their return are to be believed.
