Jana Hunter On "New Orleans Instrumental No. 1"
"R.E.M. were a staple throughout my growing years, a favorite of older siblings, passed down and thoroughly embedded. 'New Orleans' seemed wandering and malleable, and also, comfortable -- an easy choice."

Mike Mills On "New Orleans Instrumental No. 1"
"That's a groovy little thing. Peter had a volume pedal or some sort of weird guitar that made those noises. We were just messing around making sounds, and decided to throw that song together. That came out of the sound of that guitar, that's what got that song going."
