13Views


U2 are reissuing How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, their 2004 album featuring “Vertigo,” for its 20th anniversary. The new release, dubbed the Re-Assemble Edition, is out November 22 via Interscope. It includes a remastered version of the original album, along with a handful of previously unreleased songs. Two of those tracks, “Country Mile” and “Picture of You (X+W),” are out now and available below.

“The sessions for How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb were such a creative period for the band, we were exploring so many song ideas in the studio,” the Edge said in a statement. “We were inspired to revisit our early music influences, and it was a time of deep personal introspection for Bono who was attempting to process—dismantle—the death of his father.”

He continued, “For this anniversary edition, I went into my personal archive to see if there were any unreleased gems and I hit the jackpot. We chose 10 that really spoke to us. Although at the time we left these songs to one side, with the benefit of hindsight we recognize that our initial instincts about them being contenders for the album were right, we were onto something.”

The Edge concluded, “What you’re getting on this shadow album 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.”
