REM fans are yet to hear three new tracks that will surface of their most comprehensive compilation ever, the 2CD ‘Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage, 1982-2011’ due next month.
REM at SXSW
The three new songs are ‘A Month of Saturdays’, ‘We All Go Back To Where We Belong’ and ‘Hallelujah’, all recorded earlier this year in their hometown of Athens, Georgia and after the release of the last album ‘Collapse Into Now’.
“Working through our music and memories from over three decades was a hell of a journey,” Mike Mills says of choosing the song. “We realized that these songs seemed to draw a natural line under the last 31 years of our working together.”
