Coldplay's video for their second single, "Paradise," off their upcoming album "Mylo Xyloto" debuted yesterday and it's exactly as its title might suggest: nostalgic filters, honeyed, sun-drenched shots of Cape Town, and Chris Martin and company dressed up as… plushy elephants? The music video portrays a classic break-free scenario that begins at a zoo and ends up with band-dressed-as-furry-elephants leaping through fields and Chris Martin adeptly maneuvering a unicycle, all set to soaring anthemic refrains and catchy beats. It's kooky, but it works.

"Mylo Xyloto" drops October 24th.
