Pearl Jam confirm new album ‘Dark Matter’ & world tour
Pearl Jam will release their 12th studio album ‘Dark Matters’ on Monkeywrench Records/Republic Records on 19th April 2024 it has been announced.
The iconic band will also head out on a 35-date world tour starting this May. In celebration of the news, the title track for the new album has been released and you can hear it below:
‘Dark Matter’ is the Pearl Jam’s first release since 2020’s ‘Gigaton’. It is produced by Andrew Watt and was recorded at Shangri-La Studios in Malibu. The band members personally previewed the record with a listening party at the iconic Troubadour in West Hollywood during GRAMMY week.
Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder said: “I’m getting chills, because I have good memories. We’re still looking for ways to communicate. We’re at this time in our lives when you could do it or you could not do it, but we still care about putting something out there that is meaningful and we hopefully think is our best work. No hyperbole, I think this is our best work.”
Bassist Jeff Ament added, “What Ed said about getting us in a room at this point, we felt like we were about to make a really important record. A lot of that had to do with the atmosphere Andrew set up. He has encyclopedic knowledge of our history, not only as a band and how we wrote songs, but as players. He could pinpoint things we did on old songs to the point where I was like, ‘What the fuck is he talking about?’ His excitement was contagious. He’s a force. I just want to say thanks for keeping us on track. I couldn’t be prouder of us as a band. I feel so grateful for the fans, but mostly for my brothers and these people I’ve made music with.”
