CHRIS MARTIN - COLDPLAY RELEASE TRACKLISTING FOR UPCOMING RECORD

COLDPLAY RELEASE TRACKLISTING FOR UPCOMING RECORD

Chris Martin and his bandmates have finally released the running order for Coldplay's fourth studio album, Vida La Vida.

The record, whose alternative title is the cheery-sounding Death And All His Friends, is due to be released on June 16th/17th, according to the band's official website.

It is the second Coldplay album to restrict itself to just ten tracks, following their 2000 debut Parachutes, while 2002's A Rush of Blood to the Head and 2005's X&Y both featured 11.

Among the more unusual titles are 42, Strawberry Swing and Lovers in Japan/Reign of Love. Its influences reportedly include Spanish-based acoustic guitar.

"The powers-that-be tell me it'll be available for general consumption on June 16th/17th, depending on where you live," a writer signing himself off 'prospekt' on the website says.

"We'll try to release a track or two before then," it adds, meaning Coldplay fans struggling to cope with the two-month wait will have something to get their aural teeth into before then.
