Jul. 13th, 2010 07:54 pmsince this community hasn't seen any action in who knows how long, here's a bit lifted from the e-mail i got this morning:
The band has just completed recording their next record in Berlin and according to Bertis, "To my ears it all sounds like quite a wonderful set of songs." R.E.M. spent most of June at Hansa Studio in Berlin with Jacknife Lee putting the finishing touches on songs that evolved over the course of two previous recording sessions, the first in Portland in 2009 and the second in New Orleans earlier this year. The next step will be to mix the record this Fall. Although we don't have a specific date for the record to be released just yet, all signs are pointing towards Spring 2011.
you can imagine the stupid grin that got plastered on my face for the hour after i read that. less than a year! roll on spring!
