YouTube just hit us with another surprise drop.

Their second EP in six weeks called Easter Lily.

Its six tracks deep into spiritual vibes, like friendship, loss, and hope, out now on YouTube

and all streaming spots.

This follows up their first one, Days of Ash, but swaps politics for personal soul-searching.

Bannos calling these wilderness years a mid-world chaos, pushing the band to dig into faith

and rituals for real strength.

He nods to Patty Smith's Easter album from 1978 that lit him up as a teen.

They're still grinding in the studio on a noisy, colorful, full album meant for live shows,

where you two thrives.

Fans get a tribute track, song for how, with Edge taking rare lead vocals for the lay producer,

Hall Wilner.

There's a decade-old demo-turned-resurrection song with killer drums from Larry Mullen,

Jr., plus an Easter parade re-wirt fresh and a soundscape, closer from Brian Eno.

Producer Jack Knive Lee's been running on two hours of sleep, scrambling last minute

to make this happen, feeling like he's on a space station.

Larry's back after neck-and-back surgeries, adapting his drumming style and unlocking new

sounds for the band.

These 12 songs from both EP's won't touch the big album coming, but they're fueling

that fire.

You two's keeping the hunger alive, dropping truth bombs straight to your playlist while

they build toward the live roar we all crave.
