Danger Mouse for Next U2 Album
'Songs Of Ascent', is due out next year...
Speaking to Australian magazine The Age he revealed that U2 are working on three new albums - one produced by Gnarls Barkley's Brian Burton - more commonly known as Danger Mouse, a club record featuring Chart DJ David Guetta and Black Eyed Peas' Will.I.Am and a concept album based on the songs Bono and The Edge have written for the Spiderman musical.
"We have about 12 songs with him," Bono told The Age. "At the moment that looks like the album we will put out next because it's just happening so easily."
"U2's remixes in the 1990s were a real treasure," he said. "So we wanted to make a club sounding record. We have a pile of songs."
The first is due out early next year but it is thought the third is yet to be confirmed - with the other U2 members sceptical about it.
