The Edge has teased that he and the rest of U2 have teamed up with Brian Eno to work on music that could potentially be included on the band's next album and, as he says, the results might not sound like what fans expect. .
“The other day we were in the studio working on crazy new music,” the guitarist said. “Bono and I are working on a crazy type of sci-fi Irish folk music… that might end up becoming part of the new U2 album. “We're not sure yet, we'll see.”
The Edge talked about the new music during an interview with BBC Radio 2where he referred to U2's 20th anniversary. How to dismantle an atomic bombas well as the appropriately titled reissue How to reassemble an atomic bomb.
Offering more insight into U2's ongoing operations, The Edge explained: “Part of our kind of process is to go so far… off the track, and then the process of getting things back on track is the way to get things back on track.” the things. music that sounds unique.”
Notably, The Edge also revealed that drummer Larry Mullen Jr. was involved in the recording sessions. Mullen Jr. has been U2's drummer since their formation, although he sat out during their residency at The Sphere to recover from surgery.
“We're in that big phase where we don't have to think about it too much, we're just making music and loving that process,” The Edge added. “And then we'll figure out where things belong, so there are a couple of different projects.” [I’m working on]. Definitely U2, with Larry, which is wonderful. We've got him in the studio… okay, he's taking it easy, but he's back on the drums now. [and] “We're doing some recording with us, so we'll do a little more before the end of the year.”
U2 has been pretty active over the last year and it's changed. In late 2023, they were the first band to have a residency at The Sphere in Las Vegas. Footage from that series of shows was later turned into an immersive concert film titled V-U2 (get tickets to an upcoming performance here). Last month, they also released “Happiness,” a song from 20 years ago. How to dismantle an atomic bomb sessions.
U2's most recent album is 2023. Songs of Surrenderwhich presented new versions of several songs from its catalog.
