Speaking about the concept, Martin told BBC News: “It’s from the point of view of two people who are a bit lost.”

He added: “Two like-minded outsiders who meet in a very difficult environment and therefore have a journey together.”

The band have been working with Brian Eno and producer Marcus Dravs on sessions for the follow-up to 2008’s ‘Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends’, with Martin saying they “spent a year making a lot of noise”.
