Browse piano sheets by Coldplay on Zen Virtual Piano. For one record, Coldplay spent months in The Bakery before going into a studio. In the band’s words: “We just demoed and played and rehearsed and practiced, until things sounded great.” A band that measures its progress by when things sounded great makes its own ear the final judge. From the start the two producers of the album, Brian Eno and Markus Dravs, joined them in The Bakery. The result is a record where programmed beats jostle with grand swells of church organ, as on “Lost!” The band said it was inspired by so much music: “We’d listen to Rammstein and Tinariwen next to each other and the result would be something like the middle bit of ’42.’” Naming a pair of listening choices as an inspiration suggests a band that treats listening itself as part of writing. Programmed beats beside church organ is a pairing that sets machine and cathedral in one song. Coldplay are a British rock band formed in London, consisting of the vocalist and pianist Chris Martin, the lead guitarist Jonny Buckland, the bassist Guy Berryman and the drummer Will Champion, with the manager Phil Harvey also credited as a full member. A manager credited as a full member suggests a band that counts its backstage support as part of itself rather than as outside help. Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland met during their first week at University College London, in September 1996, and began to write their first songs together in early 1997. Following the independent release of the EP Safety (1998), the band signed a record deal with Parlophone in 1999 and issued their debut album, Parachutes (2000), which included the breakthrough single “Yellow.” “Yellow” was released as a single in the United Kingdom on 26 June 2000, and in the United States it was released as the lead single from the then-untitled debut album. At the 2001 Brit Awards in February, Coldplay earned awards for Best British Group and Best British Album. A breakthrough single released in June 2000 and two Brit Awards in February 2001 show how quickly the band was recognized.
