REM Chronic Town EP (40th Anniversary UK/EU limited edition Picture Disc LP, available for the first time on this format and exclusive to Indie Record Stores - featuring the gothic-style gargoyle imagery from the original cover artwork. Clear sleeve with blue hype sticker. Recommended)
TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
Chronic Town established R.E.M.'s signature sound immediately, expanding the jangling riffs of their debut single, "Radio Free Europe," into a full-fledged modus operandi. Recorded at Mitch Easter's Drive-In Studios, the EP has an endearingly ragged sound -- it's a garage band playing jangling pop songs, and while the music is melodic and memorable, it has an underground mentality that keeps it from sounding conventional.
Not only does the lo-fi production keep the music underground, but so do Peter Buck's ringing arpeggios, Michael Stipe's incomprehensible mumbled vocals, and the band's amateurish enthusiasm. They might not be accomplished players, but already their songwriting is distinctive, with "Gardening at Night," "Wolves, Lower," and "Carnival of Sorts (Box Cars)" ranking as early classics.
Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, R.E.M.’s debut EP CHRONIC TOWN is released for the first time ever as a standalone CD with extensive liner notes by the original producer Mitch Easter (Let’s Active).
