Back in April, Michael Stipe has linked up with the Big Red Machine artist collective (originally founded by Bon Iver and the National’s Aaron Dessner) to perform a new song called “No Time For Love Like Now” on Colbert. The song is out now via 37d03d; check out the music video below. The track was co-written by the former R.E.M. frontman with Aaron Dessner, and produced by Dessner. It features Justin Vernon on electric guitar.
Stipe’s first proper solo single “Your Capricious Soul” was released in 2019. Earlier this year, he followed it with “Drive to the Ocean.” Big Red Machine’s self-titled debut album was issued in 2018.
