Coldplay fans starved for new music from the band ahead of the release of Mylo Xyloto were given a few details about two unheard tracks, via the latest “Roadie Blog” entry on the band’s official site. Head below to read about “Up In Flames” and “DLIBYH” (and try to figure out what the latter stands for). “Roadie #42” first described Mylo Xyloto track “Up In Flames” in the new blog entry:

“It’s immense. I first heard it when the guys were sound-checking at the iTunes show. Apparently, Chris had started the song the previous night, so it was less than 24 hours old at that point. It was hypnotic in its simplicity, but devastatingly, achingly gorgeous. The final version has lost none of this and is a masterwork of restraint. It hasn’t been crammed with a million ideas and embellishments. Every part is there simply to enhance the emotional impact. I can only predict floods of tears in every quarter.”

Next on the discussion table was “DLIBYH,” the actual title of which is cause for much speculation on message boards:

“DLIBYH couldn’t possibly be heading in any more different a direction emotionally. It’s almost violently life affirming. I remember texting Phil during the Glastonbury rehearsals when they first played Charlie Brown in its live incarnation. I was amazed at how vast and invigorating it sounded. They’re going to blow the sodding walls out when they kick into this one tomorrow…”

Hmmm. “Don’t Let It Break Your Heart”? “Don’t Let It Bang Your Head”? “Discover Life In-Between Your Hoover”?

“Paradise,” Coldplay’s follow-up single to “Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall,” is scheduled to be released next Monday (September 12).
