U2 Have Been Making ‘Sci-Fi Irish Folk Music’ With Brian Eno
With drummer Larry Mullen Jr. "back in the saddle", U2 have been hard at work making plenty of "crazy" new music, guitarist The Edge says.
Adding that “a bunch [of] beautiful, Irish musicians” could also be involved in the process, the guitarist’s comments indicate a vast change in the band’s sound when compared to what has come recently. However, in 2023, Bono explained that a “noisy, uncompromising, unreasonable” rock album would be their next project, ostensibly replacing the apparently-shelved Songs of Ascent, which had been teased for more than a decade. Elsewhere in his discussion with the BBC, The Edge also turned his attention to the return of drummer Larry Mullen Jr., who missed U2’s 40-date residency at Sphere in Las Vegas from 2023 to 2024 while recovering from surgery.
