“Discoverer” was offered by the band as a free download last month; “It Happened Today” – featuring Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder, has already surfaced, and now a third song – the first radio single from the album – is now online, too.
“Mine Smell Like Honey” - which will hit radio on January 18 - is a bouncy, uptempo rocker with Mike Mills’ backing vocals soaring over lead singer Michael Stipe’s voice.
