R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck will release his latest solo album Warzone Earth on October 16 through Little Axe Records, as Pitchfork points out.

Buck shared a statement about the record yesterday, along with the news that he’s also working on a new record with ’90s alt-country act the Jayhawks, promising that it will “blow a lot of minds.” Stereogum reports that Nirvana’s Krist Novoselic and Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy will feature on the album along with members of his supergroup Super-Earth. Folk artist Mingering Mike designed the cover.

Curiously, Buck says the record is available t0 purchase now, but there’s no buy link live on the Little Axe site. Read Buck’s full statement below.

A representative for R.E.M. has yet to respond to a request for confirmation of these details at press time.
