Coldplay Seek Recording Refuge In Church....

English rockers Coldplay are recording their fourth album in churches across Barcelona, Spain.The Fix You hitmaker are recording their follow-up to 2005 hit album XandY in south east Spain and admits the Catalan spirit of the locals is beginning to influence their album.Writing on their website, the band says, "We've been travelling light on acoustic guitar, a couple of mics, a laptop and some headphones."We're recording in Barcelona - moving from church to church, setting up where we can: in front of the altar, under the pulpit. We've been playing at the feet of archangels".Despite promising Hispanic influences on the new disc, the group have promised they will refrain from using "maracas or castanets, but a vibrancy of colourfulness that owes much to the atmosphere of Buenos Aires and Barcelona.The affect is subtle but important".
