Coldplay have said their next album will have an "Hispanic theme", which is nice. Clarifying that on their website, the band say: "No maracas or castanets but a vibrancy and colourfulness that owes much to the atmosphere of Buenos Aires and Barcelona". The band's fourth album is due out next year, though not, as some shabby news agencies reported, "early" next year. Just next year. Might be early, might be later, it is not currently known. What do you mean you need to know? We don't know, get over it. Just satisfy yourself with this gem from the Coldplay boys on the "tensions" in the studio as they work on their follow up to the rather big selling 'X&Y': "Tension is an inherent part of recording. Without tension, there's no focus. What is remarkable is that this friction very rarely ignites into flame".
