2007 closed in the best way possible: with R.E.M. announcing their new album. Accelerate, is due out April 1, 2008. The album, which is being produced by Jacknife Lee, has been billed as a return to R.E.M.'s guitar-driven roots, as opposed to the more synthetic, keyboard-heavy sound of the past three albums.

Additionally, the band launched NinetyNights, a site which will be updated with video clips every day until the album is released. All clips will be available for download in Quicktime.
