Pearl Jam is back!! We’ve been hearing rumors for months about new music and today the rumors became reality!
Pearl Jam’s eleventh studio album will be called Gigaton and will drop March 27th through the bands own Monkeywrench Records, in partnership with Republic Records. This will be bands first new album since 2013’s Lightning Bolt.
Guitarist Mike McCready said “Making this record was a long journey” and “It was emotionally dark and confusing at times, but also an exciting and experimental road map to musical redemption.”
The album art for Gigaton captures Norway’s Nordaustlandet ice cap gushing high volumes of meltwater. The photo was taken by Paul Nicklen.
The first single is called “Dance of the Clairvoyants” and will be out soon.
The band also announced tour dates that kick off March 18th in Toronto with tickets going on sale January 24th through Ticketmaster.
