Anyone know if this is a new interview they're citing??

 

[BVS]

It looks like a bunch of recycled bs... I mean 'North Star'? Really?!

It almost looks like they took it directly from here.

 

[Gilead12]

The Independent article is from December '09, unless something brand new has come out.

 

[powerhour24]

The crap at the end definitely seemed like that particular article was padding from Wikipedia, but I'm wondering if the direct interview they're talking about is more recent. Imma cut someone at that website if they're stirring up excitement with nothing new.

 

[Thora]

The writer of the article likes the word "expected."

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Some of these songs we haven't heard of for years, I mean "North Star"? Really.

 

[AEKU2]

sounds like bullshit to me.

 

[topplehatU2]

Can't wait for "Solar" to come out!

 

[bono_212]

:')

 

[powerhour24]

Can't wait for "Solar" to come out!

One of these days.

 

[AEKU2]

One of these days.

Songs of Solar Ascent

 

[U2DMfan]

That reads like a very quick summary of the new album page from atU2.

 

[popacrobat]

as recycled as the article may be, I hope more and eventually bigger publications start doing the same thing. that way it might pressure the band a bit to release something, or at the very least, give a new interview with clearer plans.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

It does tempt me to make a fake article, myself.

 

[sue4u2]

June, wtf. Has that even, ever happened?? Wait, It could happen. It snowed here in the deep south, yesterday.

Can't wait for "Solar" to come out!

Yeah, whatever happened with Solar?

It does tempt me to make a fake article, myself.

So, you did this?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

So, you did this?

Spoiler

No, not yet.

Damn, yo. I almost feel like this thread title should be changed to "Shady internet article claims Bono says new album will be out in June." Because, I'll be honest, I've had a few beers and I got really excited when I read this thread title. Thinking it might be a substantiated interview or something. This is just a cheap and lazy retread of things we've known for ages. Oh well.

 

[Marien]

I hope Sean O'Hagan says something (I hope no U2 member will say anything in 2 months, I'll take it as a positive sign), I think they're talking about his interview in February last year and adding titles from U2 forums on the net.

Bono is saying the next U2 album will be called `Songs of Ascent’. He should know.

In an interview with Sean O’Hagan, Bono called ‘Songs of Ascent’ the sister album to ‘No Line Of The Horizon’, similar to how ‘Zooropa’ and ‘Achtung Baby’ were bookends.
Atu2.com says the album is expected to be produced by Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois once again, with additional work by Steve Lillywhite.
Some of the songs are expected to be the leftover tracks from ‘No Line On The Horizon’, but some are older.
Songs expected to be used include ‘North Star’, an unused track from ‘How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb’.
‘Winter’, the song that didn’t make ‘No Line On The Horizon’ but was used in the movie ‘Brothers’ is expected to make the new album and ‘Kingdom Of Your Love’, heard in part of the intro music of the U2 360 Tour is also expected on the album.
Other tracks we might find there are “Every Breaking Wave’, ‘If I Could Live My Life Again’, ‘Love Is All We Have Left’, ‘Mercy’, ‘Lead Me In The Way I Should Go’ and ‘You Can’t Give Away Your Heart’.
Bono told the Irish Independent that the album may be out in June.

So how many new songs will they play 3-4 and then how many off of NLOH 3-4???

I assume I wouldnt bet on this one. Maybe they will tour next year too....

 

[mikal]

total BS. we can all disregard this article.

 

[doctorwho]

Songs of Solar Ascent

Featuring the new hit single, "Mercy".

 

[Galeongirl]

Note the word MAY BE, that is changed into WILL BE in this thread title. Totally misleading.


Oh and keep in mind it's Bono who said it. We all know Bono lies.

 

[doctorwho]

U2 still "owes" us a single from NLOTH. There were to be four singles - they even gave out special edition boxes on U2.com (in Europe) that were designed to hold four 45 rpm singles. So far, U2 have released three. Given that none of those songs really took off, I wonder if they will release a fourth. I was thinking they might hold off on a fourth single until they restarted the tour, but if there is any truth to this article, maybe instead of a fourth single, we'll get a new album. Hmmm...

Exactly.

 

[Screwtape2]

Damn, I got excited at the thread title. I don't think threads like this should be started unless the news is straight from the band with very specific details.

Interesting how you call yourself "BSBono" and you send us an article that really is "BS"

I got all excited about the possibility of the album being released in June when I read this thread. However, the band's official site cannot back this article up.

 

[corianderstem]

To be fair, the band's official site can't be trusted to back anything up.

 

[Katiesheb]

Very true. Let me rephrase that...there is no current internet article (February 2010) backing it up.
