U2 have dropped another surprise EP.
On Friday, Easter Lily arrived, following February’s Defiant and the Days Of Ash EP, which dropped on Ash Wednesday. The new six track EP is a standalone, while the band continue sessions for their fifteenth album. This EP is being described as a much more reflective set compared to the one which preceded it. It also arrives with a special edition of U2’s fanzine Propaganda, which first appeared forty years ago.
The first track, Song For Hal, is dedicated to band friend and music collaborator Hal Willner, who could have been 70 on Easter Monday, but passed away six years ago, almost to the day.
