R.E.M. Releases A Single From The Vaults To Benefit Hurricane Dorian Victims

There's a new, unreleased song from R.E.M. out today, with all proceeds going to Mercy Corps, an organization helping those in the Bahamas impacted by Hurricane Dorian.

"Fascinating" was originally recorded for the 2001 album Reveal, but "it made the record too long... and something had to go," Mike Mills says. This 2004 version — an ornate ballad with twinkly electronics, an oboe and flute arrangement and a psychedelic climax — was made at Compass Point Studios in Nassau, Bahamas.
