REM confirm new album tracklisting

After confirming the spring release of Accelerate back in January, REM have announced the names of the tracks to feature on their new record.

Songs from the album, which is released on the 31st of March in the UK, have already been previewed live, during a residency the band held in Dublin last year.

Here’s what’s on the Jacknife Lee-produced effort:

'Living Well's The Best Revenge'
'Man Sized Wreath'
'Supernatural Superserious'
'Hollow Man’
'Houston’
'Accelerate'
'Until The Day Is Done'
'Mr Richards'
'Sing For The Submarine'
'Horse To Water'
'I'm Gonna DJ'

The band will release ‘Supernatural Superserious’ as the alliterative first single from this, though no release date has yet been confirmed. The video for the track was shot recently in a New York sex shop.

If you go...

to the website, there's a 30 sec (?!) clip of superserious. I like where it's going. Hope it's a sign of things to come.

i hope this will be good!

live versions of some of the tracks sound pretty promising. That single has an AWFUL title though.

and the closing track..

'im gonna DJ' hmm

I know...

really disappointed by this as it's been around for ages now (3 years?) and isn't that great anyways...

It pains me to say this…

because I think REM are a fantastic band, but Superserious sounds just like every other 'run-of-the-mill' REM song. Nothing about REM has got me excited lately :(
