R.E.M. are releasing a 25th anniversary reissue of their classic 1992 album Automatic For the People. It’s due out November 20 via Craft Recordings. It has 20 never-before-heard demos from the recording sessions for the album, including “Mike’s Pop Song,” a fully realized unreleased track that we previously posted. The band have now shared the previously unreleased demo from the sessions, “Devil Rides Backwards.” Listen to it below, followed by the reissue’s tracklist again.
