REM work on new material


REM guitarist Peter Buck and bassist Mike Mills have said they have begun work on new material for the band without Michael Stipe.


Buck and Mills have been demoing material in Portland with producer Tucker Martine and they say the abscene of Stipe is so that they can come back with material to excite the singer.


In an article from pitchfork.com Buck said they already have around 14 demos recorded as work begins on a follow up to 2008's 'Accelerate'.


Jacknife Lee will be in the producer's seat when the band plan to properly record the album later in the year.
