Up;

R.E.M. return with Up, the much anticipated 1st recording by the band's new 3-man lineup (Peter Buck, Mike Mills, Michael Stipe). Musically ambitious, melodically rich and filled with provocative new textures and sounds, Up marks the beginning of a bold new creative era for one of the world's finest bands. The album was recorded with producer Pat McCarthy (U2, Counting Crows, K.D. Lang, Hole) and features the 1st single/video: "Daysleeper."
