U2 has released another previously unheard track, titled “Luckiest Man in the World.”

The song appears on the ‘How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb’ shadow album, How to Re-Assemble An Atomic Bomb, which is now available now. The shadow album contains 10 previously unreleased tracks from the band’s archive, with the songs all coming from the original recording sessions for the band’s 11th studio album, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb. They previously released three of those tracks: “Happiness,” “Country Mile” and “Picture of You (X+Y).”

The Edge said of How To Re-Assemble An Atomic Bomb – “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. 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. 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 ten 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. 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.”
