U2 frontman Bono indicated in an interview with the Irish Independent that a new album from the quartet will be ready by June. Bono also revealed that the name of the album will be Songs of Ascent.
The "One" singer said in the same interview that Songs of Ascent will function as a sister effort to No Line on the Horizon, similar to the way Zooropa and Achtung Baby shared conceptual and thematic links.
There are several U2 songs floating around that are rumored to be making their way onto Songs of Ascent, including "Winter," a song that didn't make No Line On The Horizon. "Winter" did, however, appear in the movie Brothers.
Another song believed to be on the album is "Kingdom Of Your Love," which was heard as part of the intro music during U2's recent tour.
