Chronic Town is the debut EP by American alternative rock band R.E.M., released on August 24, 1982, on I.R.S. Records. Containing five tracks, the EP was recorded at the Drive-In Studio in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in October 1981, eighteen months after the formation of the band. Its co-producer was Mitch Easter, who 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.
Regarding the title of the EP, the band's drummer, Bill Berry, said: "A 'chronic town' is a city in the state of mind." It is also part of the lyric to "Carnival of Sorts (Boxcars)", the third track on the release,[3] and the name of the first side of the EP. "Poster Torn", also a lyric in "Carnival of Sorts (Boxcars)", is the name of side two.
