U2 Recording New Material In Africa

U2 have decamped to Africa until the end of the month to record some new material.

The Irish supergroup are currently residing in Fez, Morocco with producer Daniel Lanois and the legendary Brian Eno to lay down some songs.

It’s not yet clear whether the songs are set for release on the next U2 album, but speaking on their official website, the band said they are enjoying their time there.

Bono commented: “We have no plans for the music yet,” Bono told us. “We’re just going to make it until we can’t not put it out!"

Larry Mullen reflected on working with Eno and Lanois, saying: “It’s the first time we’ve worked with Brian and Dan in a purely songwriting capacity,’ he said. ‘So it’s very different, quite experimental and kind of liberating because of that.”
