After a recent mini-tour in South America, Coldplay were so inspired by Latin American culture and music that they have uprooted the recording of their latest record to Barcelona, Spain. The band are recording and mixing in old Spanish churches and cathedrals. A spokesperson of the band known as "Prophet," posted this on their website saying "We've been traveling light, an acoustic guitar, a couple of mics, a laptop and some headphones. [...] The music and lyrics have begun to reflect a Hispanic theme. No maracas or castanets, but a vibrancy and colorfulness that owes much to the atmosphere of Buenos Aires and Barcelona."
