Coldplay have praised Radiohead for pioneering new styles of album releases, but insist they won’t follow in their footsteps by giving away albums on the internet or short announcement releases, informs The Sun magazine.
The band’s frontman, Chris Martin, says he enjoys being signed to a major record label, but compared it to “living in your grandparents’ house” and said it’s inevitable the band will one day leave EMI.
Coldplay member says, “Being on a major label at the moment is like living in your grandparents’ house.
“Everyone knows they need to move out, and they will eventually, but we kind of like our grandmother.
“It’s obviously an antiquated model [being on a major label], because of the internet, but we really love the people we work with. If we knew what the solution was to everything, then we’d do it.
“We have absolute respect for Radiohead and The Raconteurs and people who can do what they like.
“We’re in contract though, so we’re just going to make the most of it and enjoy the people we get to work with.” |
