In this week’s NME magazine, Chris Martin talks about the bands new base, where they can avoid the paparazzi he hates. He has revealed that Coldplay have hired a new headquarters for the band, specifically designed to deflect attention from the group and help them avoid photographers.

Shifting topics Martin explained how Coldplay ended up working with the legendary Eno. “It was Brian’s idea,” he revealed. “I would often meet up with him for tea and start playing tabla machines…and that just turned into a years worth of production.”

The band also revealed how Arcade Fire influenced the new album: “After he worked on ‘Neon Bible’ Win Butler told us, ‘You should work with this guy, [long time Eno-collaborator] Markus Dravs - he’ll whip you lot into shape!’ ” explained Martin.
