R.E.M. – Fables Of The Reconstruction (Vinyl)

R.E.M. – Fables Of The Reconstruction (Vinyl)

For their third album, R.E.M. made a conscious effort to break from the traditions Murmur and Reckoning established, electing to record in England with legendary folk-rock producer Joe Boyd. For a variety of reasons, the sessions were difficult, and that tension is apparent throughout Fables of the Reconstruction. A dark, moody rumination on American folk — not only the music, but its myths — Fables is creepy, rustic psychedelic folk, filled with eerie sonic textures.
