U2’s The Edge and Adam Clayton have openly expressed their desire for a less cluttered sound in their future music. In a recent interview with Apple Music, Clayton mentioned that the band has reached a point where they have added as much as they can to their music. He emphasized the need to strip back the layers and focus on what the band does best: playing live in a room.
The Edge agreed with that sentiment, noting that music made in real time has been underappreciated in recent years and is starting to feel fresh again. He believes that albums with this raw energy and quality will captivate listeners. The Edge also reflected on the band’s origins, highlighting how their creative process was honed by performing live and keeping things simple, which he hopes will define their next collection of songs.
U2’s last studio album of all new original songs was 2017’s “Songs of Experience.” Fans can look forward to their upcoming release, “How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb (20th Anniversary),” set to drop on November 22nd.
