4.0 excellentDeadwing2112 | May 12th 20

R.E.M. was essentially born in a record shop during a chance meeting between Michael Stipe and Peter Buck. Remarkable. Chronic Town is the debut EP, interestingly enough produced by Mitch Easter of Let's Active fame. And it is quite a coming out party, with the operative word "charm" most apt descriptor for the infectious jangle pop hooks, layered vocals and intelligent lyrics. Gardening At Night is a live recorded track and exemplifies a band already tight in its sound with a front man confident behind the microphone. A solid introduction for a band that would achieve global recognition and fortune in the years to follow.
