Seven of Bruce Springsteen’s albums will not be dancing in the dark for much longer. According to Guardian, this June, the veteran singer will release Tracks II: The Lost Albums, a massive box set of seven previously unreleased records spanning 1983 to 2018. The set, arriving on seven CDs (or nine vinyl discs), will include 83 songs, with a staggering 74 making their official debut.

Described by Sony Music as “rich chapters” of Springsteen’s career, the albums were largely completed and shelved until the pandemic gave Springsteen the time to revisit and finish them. “I’ve played this music to myself and often close friends for years now,” he said. “I’m glad you’ll get a chance to finally hear them.”

These aren’t just b-sides or demos. Unlike 1998’s Tracks, which gathered rarities, Tracks II includes full, cohesive albums that trace creative pivots and sonic experiments across decades.

Among the highlights are the LA Garage Sessions 83, raw working tapes leading up to Born in the USA, arguably Springsteen’s greatest, though choosing one is no small feat considering the artist’s stellar discography. Also featured are the Streets of Philadelphia Sessions, a 1990s experiment in drum loops, synths, and hip-hop textures.

Of the songs fans can anticipate to enjoy, there is Faithless, a moody soundtrack to a film that was never made; Somewhere North of Nashville, a pedal steel-soaked country detour from 1995; and Twilight Hours, a lush, orchestrated pop companion to Western Stars. Add Inyo to the mix, which is a collection of “border tales” with tracks like The Aztec Dance and Ciudad Juarez. Springsteen rounds it off with Perfect World, a compilation of collaborations with Joe Grushecky. The album is anchored by the fierce Rain in the River, which has already been released, and can be heard and loved on all streaming platforms.

In a video trailer, Springsteen pushed back against the idea of a “lost” ’90s. “I really, really was working the whole time,” he said.

Alongside the music, the box set includes a 100-page book with rare archival photos and liner notes for each album. A curated 20-song sampler will also be made available separately.

Now 75, Springsteen shows no signs of slowing down. As he prepares for a European tour in May, he promises to keep playing “until the wheels come off.” And with Tracks II, fans are finally invited into the decades of hidden work he’s long held close.
