Coldplay are giving their most ardent and patient fans the chance to listen to tracks from their upcoming 'Prospects March EP' ahead of its release on November 24.

To listen to the clips you need to head over to the band's website where you have to navigate to a page where you bizarrely ask a string of questions to a glass of water.

Once you've worked out how it works the snippets apparently appear. I, sadly, didn't have the time or the patience.

The band say on their website: "If you're really lucky (or patient), you'll get to hear exclusive clips from four of the songs on the forthcoming Prospekt's March EP."

The full track-listing for the 'Prospects March EP' is as follows:

1. Life In Technicolor II
2. Postcards From Far Away
3. Glass Of Water
4. Rainy Day
5. Prospekt's March/Poppyfields
6. Lost+
7. Lovers In Japan (Osaka sun mix)
8. Now My Feet Won't Touch The Ground
