Ghost Stories
Coldplay
The band moves away from arena-filling tracks to explore themes of reconciliation. By thinning out the layers, the group creates an intimate mood that separates this project from their earlier work.
Electronic pulses and ambient influences, specifically from Jon Hopkins, steer the production. The use of downtempo beats and ethereal synthesizers builds a hushed, nocturnal environment that stands apart from the rest of their discography.
