On Saturday, October 19th, Coldplay kicked off the roll-out for their new music over the weekend, confirming that a double album is on its way. The band took to Instagram to post a cryptic five-second teaser, featuring a black and white photo of The Wedding Band & Dance Orchestra. Earlier in the week, posters featuring the vintage graphic started popping up inexplicably around the globe.
On Monday, October 21st, the band confirmed that the mysterious old-fashioned visuals pointed toward new music by sending fans typewritten notes directly, the old fashioned way. “Dear friends,” the hand typed note from Chris Martin and Co. reads, “my typing isn’t very good i’m sorry / I and we hope wherever you are you’re ok / for the last 100 years or thereabouts we have been working on a thing called Everyday Life / in the classifieds you might write ‘double album for sale, one very careful owner’ / one half is called ‘sunrise’, the other ‘sunset’ / it comes out 22 november / it is sort of how we feel about things / we send much love to you from hibernation / chris, jonny, guy and Will Champion, esq.”
