R.E.M.: new album out in spring 2011

Rem have finished recording their 15th album. The new studio effort was produced by Jacknife Lee, who previously worked with the group on 2008's Accelerate.

The as-yet-untitled new work is going to be released in spring 2011. It was recorded at the Music Shed in New Orleans and at Hansa Studio in Berlin, where U2's Achtung Baby and David Bowie's Heroes were recorded.
