"You know, ‘What are we all doing here and what’s the purpose of our band and why are we all here?’" And this one is about making the personal things into the big questions,” says Champion. “’Everyday Life’ was about making the big questions personal. It was as introspective about humanity as the new one is lofty. The seeds to the new album were sown years ago, when the British band was finishing up their tour for “A Head Full of Dreams." The pandemic scrambled their plans, leading to their last album, “Everyday Life,” a dense and complex work with words spoken or sung in Arabic, Spanish, Zulu and Igbo. Guitarist Jonny Buckland uses a fishing analogy: “The concept kind of builds the net, do you know what I mean? And then the net catches the type of fish that it wants to.” But you’re always at the mercy of what what songs decide to show up." “The songs come first, but the picture frame of the title of ‘Music of the Spheres’ sort of easily said which songs might fit within it. “It is a bit grander in its sound,” says lead singer Chris Martin. This is an album that should be playing as astronauts gather on a slowly spinning space station for a galactic rave. The track “Infinity Sign” sounds like it was created inside a starburst and “Biutyful” is a hit of ecstasy in musical form. “Music of the Spheres” is a spacy 12-track collection with waves of synth and airy melodies.
