New albums from R.E.M., Apples in Stereo, Anti-Flag, Ministry...
REM - Accelerate (LP and CD)
Accelerate, the first studio album in four years from R.E.M., finds modern rock’s most acclaimed band returning to the stripped-down, guitar-driven power that first enraptured fans. Helmed by the band and, for the first time, Jacknife Lee (co-producer of U2, The Hives and Snow Patrol), Accelerate puts the 2007 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame group once again firmly behind the wheel of alternative rock, a genre R.E.M. helped invent.
Apples in Stereo - Electronic Projects for Musicians (LP and CD)
Fresh off the release of the critically acclaimed "New Magnetic Wonder" and one of the most productive years of their career (including recording a remix for Yoko Ono and tours of Europe and Taiwan), The Apples in stereo are releasing the long-awaited compilation "Electronic Projects for Musicians" through Simian Records/Yep Roc Records/ Elephant 6. The album spans over 10 years and includes music from b-sides and rarities recorded between 1995 and 2007. It also features three previously unreleased tracks: "Stephen Stephen," written for and originally performed on Stephen Colbert's "The Colbert Report;" "The Apples in stereo Theme Song," recorded for the band's website; and the highly anticipated "Dreams," a previously unfinished track from 1997's "Tone Soul Evolution.
