U2 is readying a new album for tentative release in April, Billboard has learned, and is shopping for brand partners to announce the new project via a Super Bowl commercial.
Producer Danger Mouse (real name Brian Burton) has been helming the set, which was recorded primarily at New York's Electric Lady Studios.
Danger Mouse, who is perhaps best known for his work with Gnarls Barkley, Broken Bells and for the 2004 Jay-Z/Beatles mashup "The Grey Album,” has been in the mix for a new U2 set since 2010.
