» stereogum: R.E.M.'s New Album Gets Title, Website
We saw and heard a lot from R.E.M. in ‘07 — between their Live videos and our homage, it seemed like Stipe & Co. were never far from our thoughts. On this first official blogging day of ‘08, seems like that trends continuing into the New Year: It’s official that the Athenians’ 14th album, recorded in Vancouver and Dublin and produced by Jacknife Lee, will be titled Accelerate, and should be out in April. Those of you paying attention to R.E.M. ‘07 ought to remember the role Dublin’s Olympia Theatre played in their live video.
