HOW TO RE-ASSEMBLE AN ATOMIC BOMB

NEWS -|- TOUR -|- MUSIC -|- SHOP

Dear John,

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb comes the 'shadow' album, a collection of 10 songs titled How To Re-Assemble An Atomic Bomb which includes new and unreleased songs discovered in the archive of the original album recording sessions. 

And the seminal album itself, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, has now been remastered for the first time, a process which saw the band go back to the vault to revisit those early '00s recording sessions. 'Country Mile' and 'Picture of You (X+W)', the first two tracks, are out now.

How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb (Re-Assemble Edition) – featuring both How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb + How To Re-Assemble An Atomic Bomb - will be available as a dual digital release on 22nd November. Pre order or Pre save.

'What you're getting on this shadow album,' says The Edge, 'Is that raw energy of discovery, the visceral impact of the music, a sonic narrative, a moment in time, the exploration and interaction of four musicians playing together in a room… this is the pure U2 drop.'

This shadow album includes four new, never-before-heard or previously released songs - 'Treason', 'Evidence Of Life', 'Country Mile' and 'Happiness'; plus a song called 'Luckiest Man In The World' - familiar to many under its working title 'Mercy' - which now gets its official release; as well as five newly remastered songs - 'Picture Of You (X+W)', 'Don't Wanna See You Smile', 'Are We Gonna Wait Forever?', 'Theme From The Batman' and 'All Because Of You 2'.
