Overview
- U2, which released the six-track EP Friday, paired it with a special Propaganda digital edition for context.
- The collection follows last month’s Days of Ash, nods to Patti Smith’s Easter in its title, and signals a run of short, symbolic releases.
- The band says Easter Lily leans personal and reflective, tracing friendship, loss, hope and renewal.
- Bono says they remain in the studio on a “noisy, chaotic, unreasonably colored” album built for live shows, calling lively rock an act of resistance.
- The Edge highlights coexistence in the song Easter Parade and warns that wars can distract from the climate emergency.
