Athens, GA-based alt legends R.E.M. just finished recording their 15th studio album at Hansa Studios in Berlin, the same studio where U2 recorded Achtung Baby. Stipe and co. chose Jacknife Lee to produce their follow-up to Accelerate from 2008. The mixing process is scheduled for this fall, with a release date sometime in Spring 2011. In the meantime, keep an eye out for the debut album from Tired Pony, R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck’s country side project with Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol, which comes out in the US on September 28th.
