R.E.M. 'Accelerate' on New Album

R.E.M. have titled their forthcoming album -- the follow-up to 2004's 'Around the Sun' -- 'Accelerate.' The recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees teamed with producer Jacknife Lee (Snow Patrol, Bloc Party) for their 14th effort, due in April.

"Let me tell you a secret," frontman Michael Stipe said at a December 6 charity auction in New York. "We have a great f---ing record in the bag. It's a big change."

Among the final cuts are 'I'm Gonna DJ,' 'Mr. Richards' and 'Staring Down the Barrel of Middle Distance.' Another new tune, 'Until the Day Is Done,' debuted on 'Anderson Cooper 360' in October. That song served soundtrack to the network's 'Planet in Peril' series.
