I know they’re not the most fashionable band, especially in a blog that holds that ‘indie’ word in its title, but even if Coldplay is one of the biggest bands on the planet right now and a lot of you can’t stand even the thought of listening to Chris Martin and co’s material, their latest video for Strawberry Swing (the thousandth-or-so single released from last year’s brilliant Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends or some co-release of it) still deserves a viewing. The soothing, calm and wonderfully tranquil journey of sweet melodies gets an impressively well-made video, all stop motion and detailed chalk drawings on a gigantic blackboard. It’s just wonderful how in the era of CGI some people still like using alternative animation methods that look amazing.

Babelgum has the exclusive for the video so click here to view it.
