Consider our minds completely blown! After a series of mysterious updates\u00a0(and new images of the band on their official Facebook page) Coldplay<\/a> has hit their fan base with a beyonce-style surprise\u00a0 of epic proportions.<\/p>\n

The new track “Midnight” – presumably from their yet to be titled upcoming new album – is a drastic departure from the poppy and upbeat sound of Mylo Xyloto. Trading the busy instrumentation of their previous effort for a tense and atmospheric electronic track, the song holds little in common to the sound Coldplay fans are used to. Featuring a black and white video, directed by Mary Wigmore, the track is a slow-burner clocking in at almost six minutes in length.<\/p>\n

Before the release of the surprise track this morning, many claims had circulated that the band’s long hyped and rumored sixth record would hail a return to the sound of their A Rush of Blood To The Head <\/em>era. However, if this new track is of any indication, it looks like the band will be heading in an entirely new direction altogether.<\/p>\n
