Chronic Town

Chronic Town is the debut extended play by the American alternative rock band R.E.M. It was released on August 24, 1982, on I.R.S. Records. The five-track EP was recorded at Drive-In Studio in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in October 1981, eighteen months after the formation of the band. Its co-producer, Mitch Easter, produced the band's "Radio Free Europe" single earlier in 1981. Chronic Town's opening track, "Wolves, Lower", was re-recorded in June 1982, two months before the EP's release. The title of the EP is part of the lyric to "Carnival of Sorts", the third track on the release, and the name of the first side of the EP. "Poster Torn", also a lyric in "Carnival of Sorts", is the name of side two.
