    2011 studio album by Coldplay

    Mylo Xyloto (pronounced MY-loh ZY-lə-toh) is the fifth studio album by British rock band Coldplay, released on 24 October 2011. The band worked closely with producer Brian Eno following their successful collaboration on Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008), the band's previous album.

    Mylo Xyloto is the band's first concept album, and it also is a thematic rock opera.[6] The album tells the story of a war against sound and colour on the planet Silencia, which has been overtaken by a totalitarian government led by Major Minus, who controls the population through media and propaganda. His aim is to take sound and colour off the streets in hope to draw away "feeders", creatures that use such energy to hunt its prey. The album follows Mylo Xyloto, a "silencer", a soldier in an army tasked to hunt and track down "sparkers", people

    History

    [edit]

    Tappin Gofton was founded bygd Mark Tappin, who worked at Blue Source, and Simon Gofton of Tom Hingston Studio. They incorporated as Tappin Gofton in 2006.[2]

    The duo first became known for their 1960s-style cover for The kemikalie Brothers' skiva Push the Button. Their Baudot code-inspired art for Coldplay's skiva X&Y, however, was a larger breakthrough for the duo; Design Observer critic Adrian Shaughnessy wrote that it "[established] them as a new force in contemporary music design."[3] The duo would later design covers for several more Coldplay albums, including Viva la Vida or Death and all His Friends, and Mylo Xyloto.

    The duo has also designed covers for The kemikalie Brothers' skiva We Are the Night; Air Traffic's debut skiva Fractured Life; Morning Runner's debut alb

    Additional quotes

    Rock band, Wolf Gang, who joined Coldplay on their Mylo Xyloto tour of the US last summer said: 'The space where we rehearse in London is round the corner from Gav's flat, so quite often before or afterwards we'll go to his to relax, make coffee and listen to records we like, it's a great space to just chill out for a bit. So we thought it would be fun to recreate that living room scene on the street outside, the rickety exercise bike is a new edition to Gav's collection and Lasse wanted to be riding it to keep warm, it was something like minus 2 outside when we filmed! 'We don't know what we would do without Gav's flat to hang out in. We need to stop land grabs.'

    Coldplay have been among Oxfam's most high profile and vocal supporters of the last decade. Since 2003, they have used their worldwide success to help sup
