U2 are dropping a new album in November and have released these two NEW songs that were written during the "How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" sessions.
To mark the 20th anniversary of U2’s critically acclaimed eight-time Grammy-winning album How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, U2 announces today the release of a shadow album titled How To Re-Assemble An Atomic Bomb, which includes new, unreleased songs discovered in the archive of the original album recording sessions.
Set for a standalone release on November 29, the first songs to be made available from How To Re-Assemble An Atomic Bomb are ‘Country Mile’ and ‘Picture Of You (X + W)’, out today.
How To Re-Assemble An Atomic Bomb will be released as a stand alone LP for Record Store Day's Black Friday on November 29th. There's also two LP, CD and cassette versions of the original album with the bonus track "Fast Car" of the original album also coming out on November 22nd.
To further celebrate the anniversary of this seminal album, 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, a period of intense creativity for U2 in the studio, as well as a time of deep personal and artistic reflection following the passing of Bono’s father Bob in 2001.
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 November 22.
