Coldplay have appeared to tease a new project entitled 'Alien Radio' in a mysterious social media clip, which also suggests that the band will release new song Higher Power on May 7th.

A brief clip shared on social media sees the band presenting a series of mysterious purple symbols over a static radio signal, with fans then invited to visit AlienRadio.FM for more details, reports the NME.

Once redirected to the website, fans then see a rotating globe in the centre of the screen before the cursor changes into a four-pointed star.

According to the NME, by moving the cursor across the globe fans can gain access to a selection of multi-lingual messages which range from advertisements for satellite launches to excerpts from classic literature such as Sherlock Holmes story Adventure of the Dancing Men and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

Nothing has been confirmed about the cryptic teaser campaign, but Coldplay fans have been busy trying to decipher the message behind the mysterious imagery.

Fan account ColdplayXtra claims that the symbols can be decoded to hint at a new release from the band next month: COLDPLAY HIGHER POWER, MAY SEVEN.

A section of scrolling text on the top of the website also provides a phrase that many fans suspect to be lyrics to Higher Power.

"This joy is electric and you're circuiting through/I’m so happy that I’m alive happy I’m alive at the same time as you," it reads.

Along with the cryptic online presence, the alien language has also been spotted on digital billboards in New York, London, Santiago, and Seoul.

Earlier this year, there were reports that Coldplay have been working on a new album called Music Of The Spheres during the pandemic.
