Album 13: Shit Gets Real

[jeevey]

This just in: U2's new album will be called "Fuck the Hipsters". Hipsters will ironically like it.

Hipsters, ironically, will like it? Or hipsters will like it ironically?

more pics that tell us nothing

I'm not too sure how real these t-shirts are.The font is derived from the NLOTH font but the interruptions are in the wrong spot. For each new album, U2 gets a new custom font. This is too close to the 'old' one, yet it's not the same one. So maybe these are fake...

 

[trojanchick99]

Why would people make fake shirts? I've seen one from another instagram account. It's not uncommon for shoots to have shirts made.

 

[popacrobat]

I don't see why they'd be fake, given last week or so one of the models posted a picture of the same t-shirt. Not sure why a model would go through that trouble to fake out all the U2 fans on interference and other small internet communities.

I dunno about 'custom', the Bomb/Vertigo era font was Clarendon, it's ben around since the 50's.

in case there is any question of whether u2 are still in the studio with DM.. he states here that Broken Bells have been rehearsing for the past weeks..

Q&A: Broken Bells’ Danger Mouse And James Mercer On The Making And Meaning Of After The Disco - Stereogum

No. NO!!! No.

Danger Mouse is with U2 working on the album. Danger, Bono, Edge, Larry and U2Girl have all said so. It must be true. It MUST!

Yes

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Seriously though... Danger Mouse is unavailable until the end of April, as he's touring with Broken Bells.

And Mouse still says that he's still working on it, so they haven't fired him.

So our options are...

A... the album is done and they're just being coy, despite U2Girl's clear objections
B... 2015

FYI, Pitchfork just gave the new U2 album a 1.8 score.

I wonder if any motorboats will be featured in the video.

Spoiler

I'd book myself for a cruise in her love boat, if you get my meaning...

Seems legit, now that it's 2014 working with Danger Mouse will not only strike them as desperation for hipness, but they've surely reached the end of the affair with DM himself, the shelf life for 'cool' can't go much past a decade.

And Adam said back in October that they were aiming to be done in the studio before Christmas. I'm inclined to believe my husband.

That album is done, pressed, and sitting in boxes somewhere. The very thought is just.....

Stop this now you're scaring me.

I had both meanings in mind when I wrote that, and decided to not decide which I meant. Both, really.

Did Broken Bells add new dates? Their tour only spans from 2/28 to 3/12. Plenty of time for DM to tie up loose ends for a summer release.

They are overseas in March and April doing festivals.

Hang in there!

In less then 123 hours, we can start talking about Invisible.

It's a t-shirt made by fans, they are waiting for a presentation of the book "U2 in Spain".

STEREOGUM: I imagine touring for this record will take up a good chunk of time for this year, but I know you guys both have a lot of other stuff you work on. How hard are you going to tour the record? Are you going to be out for a good part of the year?

BURTON: We have a decent amount planned so far. Just like last time, as we start and get out there, we’ll see how it goes. If we keep enjoying doing it, we’ll probably do it longer. But right now, this is the project that we’re thinking about, so the time element won’t interfere with any other projects. If it’s better for us to keep touring, we will. If it’s better for us to stop again, we will. It doesn’t have to do with any other projects or anything like that. Not right now, anyway…

sounds like he ain't got no plans

 

[Miringeltje]

sounds like he ain't got no plans

Tour • Broken Bells

Anybody know how many days/weeks before CD-pressing the master has to be ready?

 

[Registered Dude]

sorry, meant to say that it sounds like he has no OTHER plans.. no room for U2 at least

It wasn't exactly Clarendon, IIRC it was a variation on it. Like Elevation era was Eurostyle, extended.

Re: festivals, only March looks busy for him. I don't see how this prohibits visiting the studio with U2.

 

[Airseven]

He appears open in February and only 3 April dates. That jives with Bono's timeline. Dunno.

 

[BoMac]

You are fucking insane.

Conveniently ignoring where he says he has no other projects right now?

Anything that helps his argument.
