Coldplay announced the release of their highly-anticipated tenth studio album, Moon Music, landing on October 4. Its lead single, feelslikeimfallinginlove, was released last Friday, June 21.
The album is produced by Max Martin, who also produced their last album Music of the Spheres, which spawned the US Number One single with BTS, My Universe and was nominated for Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards.
In line with the band’s ground-breaking strides on their current tour towards sustainability, the physical release of Moon Music will likewise set new standards for releasing music.
New Sustainable Formats and Measures
Moon Music will be the world’s first album released as a 140g EcoRecord LP. Each copy is made from nine recycled plastic bottles from post-consumer waste. There is also another format called the Notebook Edition EcoRecord LP, in partnership with The Ocean Cleanup.
CD editions of Moon Music will also be the world’s first to be released on EcoCD, created from recycled polycarbonate, sourced from post-consumer waste streams.
In an effort to reduce waste, the first edition run of Moon Music (both EcoRecord LP and EcoCD) will be strictly limited. Moon Music is available to pre-order now in four physical formats, all clearly marked as First Edition, with all EcoRecord rPET LP products individually numbered.
