Chris Martin has been writing songs in his daughter's playhouse.
The Coldplay frontman found inspiration to pen the lyrics for their new album Mylo Xyloto in an unusual place. Chris has explained the British rockers spent time putting the track Charlie Brown together in seven-year-old Apple's den.
"This is the only song we ever wrote in a doll's house. I turned it into a studio because my daughter didn't like it," Chris is quoted as saying by British newspaper The Sun.
Chris recently revealed the concept album has a theme, and compared it to a musical production.
"Well, our new record is sort of a story; it's not quite a musical, but it's dangerously close. There's a bit of a love-story thread,' he explained.
Although the band are famous for their alternative rock sound, they are happy to have experimented with electronics and acoustic instruments for their latest musical offering.
They claim the lyrics have been inspired by 'old school American graffiti' and even by HBO television series The Wire.
Mylo Xyloto ' the band's fifth record ' will be released on October 24.
