“Collapse Into Now”: Tracklist and Facts
Not long after the release of their follow-up, Accelerate (2008), REM decided to end their time together with one last album. Produced by Jacknife Lee (The Cars, Taylor Swift, U2), Collapse Into Now was recorded in Berlin, New Orleans and Nashville over the course of a year.
Released a year after REM’s 30th anniversary, “Collapse Into Now” served as the conclusion to the band’s acclaimed career. The band’s 15th and final studio album includes singles such as “Überlin”, “Oh My Heart” and “It Happened Today”.
