Pearl Jam announce new album Gigaton, North American tour
The post Pearl Jam announce new album Gigaton, North American tour appeared first on Consequence of Sound.
Pearl Jam are back with a new album called Gigaton, along with a supporting 2020 North American tour.
Gigaton is due out on March 27th through Pearl Jam’s own Monkeywrench Records in partnership with Republic Records. It marks the band’s eleventh studio album to date and their first in seven years. Previously, Pearl Jam released Lightning Bolt in 2013.
“Making this record was a long journey,” guitarist Mike McCready said in a statement. “It was emotionally dark and confusing at times, but also an exciting and experimental road map to musical redemption. Collaborating with my bandmates on Gigaton ultimately gave me greater love, awareness and knowledge of the need for human connection in these times.”
The album’s artwork is a photograph by Paul Nicklen called “Ice Waterall”, capturing Norway’s Nordaustlandet ice cap gushing high volumes of meltwater. See it below.
As a preview, take a listen to the first single, “Dance of the Clairvoyants”.
