 WORK on COLDPLAY's new album is going so well the band have been forced to set up a Top Gear-style "cool wall" just to whittle down the best tracks. Word is we will definitely be getting a new album by the end of the year. So much for the lads having a rest.
Coldplay have been busy working in their new studio The Beehive since their Viva La Vida tour ended. There was a break late last year after the Wembley dates and the whole thing ended for good after Latin American gigs last month.
 But in that time they have already written more than 50 songs in their new HQ in Camden, north London. The choice is so great they have had to grade the tunes on the wall of a dedicated room as they map out a tracklist for the new album. One of Coldplay's roadies, who blogs on their website under the name #42, explained: "The names of every idea have been written down - each on their own piece of card. Inevitably, there's a huge number of cards.  "From tiny moments that were played only once to things that the fellas have been playing for months now, they're all up there. "The cards are first arranged on the wall in terms of A, B and C. "The A list are songs that have to go on the record. The B list are songs that might or might not. The C list contains things that are being left. "There's enough in the unreleased vaults to outfit an entire career for a pretty successful band. "It'd be an interesting project to one day pull out all the songs that fell off along the way - like rummaging through Coldplay's attic." The band have posted pictures of the song cards. The band moved into their new premises last year after outgrowing The Bakery down the road, where the last album was crafted. As I've already reported, the turning point in the album came when frontman Chris commissioned roadie #42 and the rest of the crew to build a model of the solar system in the studio. The band members - plus producer boffin BRIAN ENO - have been getting inspiration from pretty big subjects. Let's hope the music is just as epic. (The SUN)
