LYSSNA: Coldplay – ”Ghost Stories” (album)

Lyssna på bandets sjätte album.

Efter att ha bjudit på hela tre singlar; arenamelankoliska Magic, Bon Iver-doftande Midnight och Avicii-producerade A Sky Full of Stars, kan du nu lyssna på bandets nya fullängdare. Ghost Stories ges ut 20 maj, men streamas redan nu via iTunes Radio.  I en intervju med BBC berättar Chris Martin om idéerna bakom det nya albumet.

”The idea of Ghost Stories, for me, was ‘how do you let the things that happen to you in the past – your ghosts – how do you let them affect your present and your future?’ Because there was a time when I was feeling like they were going to drag me down and ruin my life, and the lives of those around me. I was very lucky to meet a very good sufi teacher who started to introduce the idea of ‘if you sit with your experiences and the things you’ve been through, they alchemize.’ At the time he said that, I didn’t really know what that meant, but I trusted that it would work, and the more that I was learning about that, the more music just started flowing through.”
