Coldplay – Moon Music

Description

Coldplay have today announced the release of their highly-anticipated tenth album, Moon

Music. The record will land in stores and on streaming services on October 4, 2024.

Moon Music, which was produced by Max Martin, is available to pre-order everywhere now.

LIMITED FIRST EDITION RELEASE

In an effort to reduce waste, the first edition run of Moon Music (both EcoRecord rPET LP and

EcoCD) will be strictly limited and produced at a higher specification than any future editions. All

First Edition EcoRecord rPET LP products will be individually numbered.

NEW FORMATS AND NEW SUSTAINABILITY STANDARDS

In tandem with Coldplay’s ground-breaking sustainability measures on their current tour – which

has so far produced 59% less CO2e emissions than their previous stadium tour – the band have

gone to great lengths to make the physical release of Moon Music as sustainable as possible.

This will be the world’s first album released as a 140g EcoRecord rPET LP, with each copy

containing nine recycled PET-plastic bottles recovered from post-consumer waste. This will

prevent the manufacture of more than 25 metric tonnes of virgin plastic, and provide an 85%

reduction in manufacturing process CO2 emissions/kg compared to traditional 140g vinyl.

Additionally, the band have collaborated with long-time partners The Ocean Cleanup to create

an additional format: the Notebook Edition EcoRecord rPET LP. The rPET for this edition

comprises 70% river plastic, intercepted by The Ocean Cleanup from the Rio Las Vacas,

Guatemala, and prevented from reaching the Gulf of Honduras and the Atlantic Ocean.

The CD editions of Moon Music will be the world’s first to be released on EcoCD, created from

90% recycled polycarbonate, sourced from post-consumer waste streams. This will provide at

least a 78% CO2/kg emission reduction, and avoid the manufacture of more than five metric

tonnes of virgin plastic.
