U2 + Danger Mouse = Songs of Ascent

U2, now 23 years removed from the epic Joshua Tree, released details this week regarding three upcoming albums. Danger Mouse will produce the band’s next album, which is due out next year. According to Bono, U2 has completed 12 songs with the Gnarls Barkley and Broken Bells member. The tracks will appear on U2’s new record, currently titled Songs of Ascent. But U2 evidently has two other albums in the works. One will be a compilation of “club” songs and will feature appearances by David Guetta and Will.i.am. The third album, which isn’t set in stone, will be based on the band’s Broadway musical about Spider-Man, which is set to open in November.
