Coldplay – Everyday Life: EcoRecord (Clear Vinyl 2LP)

Everyday Life, Coldplay’s eighth studio effort and first in nearly four years following 2015’s A Head Full of Dreams, is a 53-minute double album affair divided into two halves, Sunrise and Sunset. The album’s cover image is based around a 1919 photo of guitarist Jonny Buckland’s great-grandfather’s band. The artwork was teased in mysterious posters and billboards all around the world, from São Paulo to Tokyo. The album’s tracklisting was unveiled via classified ads in the hometown newspapers of Coldplay’s members (in Flintshire, Exeter, Southampton and Fife). The first details of Everyday Life were revealed when the band mailed typed, hand-signed notes to 500 Coldplay fans around the world.

Everyday Life by Coldplay is now available as a double LP on EcoRecord. Each injection-molded LP is made entirely from, on average, nine recycled plastic bottles. EcoRecord sounds and looks as great as a traditional vinyl record, but it’s been manufactured using 100% recycled PET, instead of PVC. Injection molding technology has energy savings of up to 85% compared to the traditional vinyl process.
