About the album.

Mylo Xyloto is the fifth studio album by Coldplay, a bright, synth-flecked pop rock record and the band’s first concept album, released by Parlophone in October 2011. Its loose storyline follows a soldier sent to hunt down “sparkers”, rebels who turn light and colour into graffiti-like sparks, told across fourteen tracks that blend stadium guitars with electronic textures.

Recorded between 2008 and 2011 at the band’s London studios, The Bakery and The Beehive, it was produced by Markus Dravs, Dan Green and Rik Simpson, with Brian Eno contributing additional composition. Five singles followed, including ‘Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall’, ‘Paradise’, which became their second UK number one single, and ‘Princess of China’ featuring Rihanna.

The album debuted at number one in both the UK and the US, topped the charts in 34 countries and was the UK’s best-selling rock album of 2011. This 2025 reissue is pressed on clear 140g EcoRecord vinyl, injection-moulded from recycled plastic bottles as part of Coldplay’s push to make their records more sustainable.

If Mylo Xyloto is your thing, go back to where it began with Parachutes, or try A Rush of Blood to the Head. Both are also on clear EcoRecord.
