There are bands that, even though they are no longer active, we will always be happy if they release anything to remember how much we like them. There are many examples of this, but the first that comes to mind is R.E.M.who after a long time apart, released the video for the remix of “Strange Currencies” for the second season of The Bear.
It was in 2011 and after three decades of career when the members announced that the band was ending. Since then, everyone has taken their own path and has dedicated themselves to their personal projects. However, this 2023 and after more than 10 years in silence, REM presents us with a rather special mix for one of the best series today.
