Since 2024, R.E.M. have reunited a couple of times, and Peter Buck has launched supergroups like the Silverlites and Drink The Sea. Now, he’s joining the Icicle Works’ Ian McNabb for a cover of R.E.M.’s Reckoning track “So. Central Rain.” “In the year just passed, I recorded some guitars on a version of ‘So. Central Rain’ by my friend Ian McNabb,” Buck wrote on R.E.M.’s website. “You might remember him from the Icicle Works. It’s a cool version. Hope this helps start the new year off well!”
The track – originally released as a single from R.E.M.’s second album ‘Reckoning’ in 1984 – came together last year and has now been shared by Buck on R.E.M.’s official website.
