Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, and bassist Mike Mills have just finished recording their 15th studio album. It’ll be released next Spring via Warner Bros. The band teamed up again with the Grammy Award-winning producer Jacknife Lee, who produced R.E.M.’s previous album Accelerate.
R.E.M. and Lee have been recording in New Orleans at the Music Shed and in Berlin at the famed Hansa Studios, where several legendary albums, including David Bowie’s Heroes, U2’s Achtung Baby, and Iggy Pop’s Lust for Life, were made.
