Bono has revealed that the mixmaster genius behind Gnarls Barkley, Danger Mouse, is producing U2’s next album due out some time during the first half of 2011. And even if that seems weird, according to Bono, “It’s just happening so easily.”

With 12 albums and 30+ years of musical experience under their belts, U2 is a band that knows how to get things done. But they faced quite a challenge recently after they were asked to create the music for “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark,” a rock musical based off the Spider-an comic books, which debuts Jan. 11, 2011.
