Original of the Species, video and single, available to download in the UK and the US.

Producer Jacknife Lee went back into the studio with the band last summer to record a new version of Original of the Species.

And the artist Catherine Owens, long time U2 collaborator, came up with a stunning video to accompany the track, a dazzling work of futuristic animation and one of the most unusual videos the band has ever made.

The track was released to radio in the US in the autumn and now both single and video are available as a download from all legal download stores including Island Tunes and iTunes in the UK and iTunes in the US.
