If you're in need of a weekend soundtrack, perhaps send Coldplay [1] a thank you note — the band just dropped two singles off of its upcoming double album, Everyday Life, for your listening pleasure.
The songs debuted after a few exciting announcements from Coldplay — like details about the new album via old fashioned letters [2] to fans, and then a track list via newspaper classifieds [3] — ending what seems like a one billion year run since Chris Martin [4] and co. released new music. Both of the singles have that bouncy, dreamy quality Coldplay has become known for, with relatable lyrics like "I wanna know when I can go / back and get drunk with my friends" (same?) and "Comme deux ruisseaux / Qui se rassemblent / Pour faire les grandes rivières." (OK, maybe the latter example isn't as relatable.)
Listen to "Orphans" and "Arabesque" ahead before Coldplay's Everyday Life arrives in full on Nov. 22.
