Coldplay's new album is 'Ghost Stories'

Coldplay's new album will be a "low-key" release.

The British band recently announced the title of their sixth album, due to be released next month.

A record label insider said the band's new album will give them a chance to try out different sounds before embarking on a bigger comeback in 2015. Some possible cause is that the frontman's marriage fell apart recently, after ten years.

"Ghost Stories is sort of a low-key release for Coldplay, if that's possible", an insider revealed to British newspaper Daily Star. "It's their chance to try out some different ideas on a smaller scale before coming back next year with a more traditional record".

To complement their new sound, Coldplay are looking towards other British bands for inspiration. U2 did it with Achtung Baby and Zooropa. And it's no secret Coldplay have always admired Radiohead. "They did a similar thing with their experimental Kid A album in 2000, returning a year later with sister release Amnesiac", according to the same source.

The band is gearing up for bigger things in the future, with a rumoured major tour in the pipeline.

"There probably won't be a huge amount of activity from the band this year, just smaller dates. Next year is when fans can look forward to some much bigger Coldplay tour dates", the insider said.

While the band concentrates on their new music, Chris's marriage breakdown continues to be the subject of much speculation, with rumours of affairs surrounding the former couple.
