Dolenz Sings R.E.M.
The EP features fresh and completely new arrangements of some of
R.E.M.’s most memorable and catchy songs. As Dolenz says: “Once again,
this EP reaffirms my long-held conviction that a solid recording always
begins with solid material. You don’t get much more solid than R.E.M.
What a joy to sing these classics and honor a team of outstanding
writers.” 7A Records’ CEO Glenn Gretlund adds: “R.E.M. and Micky Dolenz
are a match made in heaven and I’m delighted with how the recordings
have turned out. Micky’s voice sounds better than ever and Christian
Nesmith has done a wonderful job in reimagining the arrangements.” The
EP is released on 180g Yellow Vinyl, CD and on all Digital platforms on
November 3rd.

R.E.M. Reactions to the EP:
“These songs are ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. Micky Dolenz covering R.E.M.
Monkees style; I have died and gone to heaven. This is really something.
Shiny Happy People sounds INCREDIBLE (never thought you or I would hear
me say that!!!). Give it a spin. It’s wild. And produced by Christian
Nesmith (son of Michael Nesmith), I am finally complete”.
Michael Stipe
"That voice---one of the main voices of my musical awakening---singing
our songs... it is beyond awesome. Let's help make this as huge as we
possibly can. I am beyond thrilled."
Mike Mills
"I've been listening to Micky's singing since I was nine years old.
It's unreal to hear that very voice, adding new depth to songs we've
written ourselves, and inhabiting them so completely."
Peter Buck
"I am blown away! Micky and Christian just take these tracks to unexpected places”.
Scott McCaughey
