Coldplay is done making albums soon. The band is set to release their 10th studio album Moon Music on Friday (October 4), and will only make two more afterward. “We are only going to do 12 proper albums and that’s real. Yeah, I promise,” Chris Martin said in an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. “Because less is more and, for some of our critics, even less would be even more!

There’s only 12-and-a-half Beatles albums, there’s about the same for Bob Marley, so all our heroes. Also, having that limit means the quality control is so high right now, and for a song to make it, it’s almost impossible, which is great,” he went to explain. He added that while the band could be “coasting” at this point, they’re “we’re trying to improve.” “It’s such a lot of wrangling of people,” he added of making a “great” project: “And I want to give the others some of their life for themselves.” “I don’t want to be, when we’re 60, be like, ‘Will [Champion], we need you. Come on! We can do better than this!’” he concluded. But don’t worry: there will always be new music. “That will always continue in some way, but there’s something about the Coldplay thing. I don’t know where the songs come from. I don’t know where the ideas come from, but that’s just been coming to me for about four or five years now. Like, ‘You have to finish like this,’ and I trust that just like I trust the songs,” he said. “So if we do something together after that creatively beyond touring, then it’ll be something different, or it’ll be a side thing, or it’ll be a compilation of things we hadn’t finished,” he went on.
