Coldplay have pledged again that their fourth album will be very different from their first three. Chris Martin was talking about a new sound back in October, and now the band's bassist has pitched in. Guy Berryman has told BBC 6Music that the band are keen to get back into the studio to work on a new sound, but added that a busy touring schedule made that very difficult.
Berryman: "I know a lot of bands say this all the time, but our next record is going to be really quite different from the last three because I think it would be boring for us and everybody else if we did another record in the same vein as the last three. It's been said before that we really view these first three albums as part of a trilogy and it's now time to move on. We feel that we don't really have to prove ourselves any more to people - and that gives you an amazing amount of creative freedom to do stuff."
Berryman admitted that they were considering adding more "electronic stuff" into the mix, but said it wouldn't be too "introspective".
