With news of Coldplay's fifth studio album release, 'Mylo Xyloto', Chris Martin has said band believe they have thrown everything they have into this new record. 

Martin told Billboard the band was inspired to get back into the studio after producer Brian Eno wrote them a letter.

Martin said: "When we finished the last record 'Viva La Vida', we were all feeling pretty pleased with ourselves when it was like Number One or whatever. Then… Brian Eno wrote to us and said, 'Dear Coldplay. I really think we've made a good record here. But I do think we can do a lot better, and I feel we all need to get back to work as soon as possible.

"I always feel like each record is our last, but at the moment I'm in the stage where I really mean it. I just can't imagine how we would do another one, because we've thrown everything. When it's finished, we won't have been able to put more work into it, which I guess is the only thing we can really do"

Martin also strangely compared the new album to a sandwich, responding to a question about whether the band records with an audience in mind saying:

"We don't make it for us, we don't make it to sell millions, we don't make it to answer critics or anything. We make it so that if you're in a store and you buy our record, or a ticket, like a good sandwich, you go, 'That's good!' That's all it is.'"

The band will release the album on October 24, with a single, titled 'Paradise', set to come out on September 12.
