Coldplay's Chris Martin has hinted that the band already have a name for their upcoming album.

The award-winning British group - comprising Martin, Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland and Will Champion - plan to release a sixth studio album in 2015 to follow-on from their most recent record Mylo Xyloto.

Speaking on Australian radio show Kyle and Jackie O, Martin revealed that the group may have already named their next offering.

He said: "The next one we're releasing is much easier to pronounce."

Martin was then asked the title of the next record, but replied:  "I can't tell you that!" before turning to bandmate Buckland and asking: "Can I give a hint?"

Guitarist Buckland was quick to shoot Martin's suggestion down.

Martin also talked about the festive season, and revealed he often feels guilty when he forgets to buy his bandmates gifts for Christmas.

He laughed: “Will and Guy are very, very good and they always give us lovely presents and Jonny and I are not very good. It’s kind of sad! It’s hard to get presents for each other! But we do buy each other stuff, just not always for birthdays and Christmas. Like I might buy something for Guy tomorrow if I see something I think he’d like.”
