YouTube broke their eight-year silence with the days of Ash EP on Ash Wednesday, and

now they followed it up with a six-track surprise called Easter.

Lily dropped at 5 a.m. on Good Friday.

This one's all about personal loss, resurrection, and redemption, shifting from the global

conflicts on the first EP to that intimate lintin vibe of, sacrifice and reflection.

The opener, Song for How, honors their late friend Howe Wilner and nods to COVID-trauma

with the edge taking rarely vocals over killer guitar and drums.

Tracks like, in a life, build tension without the big splash, while scars get raw with crucifixion

imagery and resurrection-song pounds like early.

Post-punk influences, fans and critics are buzzing about the fresh energy, especially

after producer Jack Knife Lee, called this their most fired-up sound in decades.

Interviews in the accompanying, easing feature, Bono's mentor, father Richard Roar, questioning

faith and organized religion, tying into the bands, lifelong Christian ethos, meanwhile

nods to Susie and the banshees, the Beatles, and even Fontaine's D.C. show you two still

pulling from everywhere with hints of an EDM remix, coming from Martin Garrix.

The closer, co-exist, wrestles with war drones and blessing the Lord of Mid-Chaos, echoing

sessions with Brian Eno.

These EP's Signal U2's back in top form, priming us for a full album that could redefine

their legacy once more.
