The new U2 album is “going great”, according to one of the key figures involved in the recordings. Producer Daniel Lanois has been drafted in to work on the Irish rock supergroup’s latest record, having collaborated successfully with the band in the past. Lanois is famed for his contributions, alongside Brian Eno, to landmark U2 albums such as “The Joshua Tree” and “Achtung Baby”. The pair have been enlisted to assist on the follow-up to 2004’s “How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb”, with sessions said to be going well. “We’ve been invited as writers this time. I did three writing sessions with Eno and U2 - one in Fez, Morocco; two in France”, explained Lanois. “It’s going great. We’re regrouping in November”, he told Rolling Stone, before explaining that the record was “kind of making itself.” Lanois is due to release a movie documenting his work as a musician and producer entitled “Here Is What Is” shortly, which will feature U2 working in Morocco.
