Pearl Jam have just sent rock fans into a frenzy.
The iconic Evenflow singers have confirmed the existence of their 12th studio album, Dark Matter, and its release date.
Dark Matter will be released later this year on April 19, 2024, marking their first new record since 2020’s Gigaton.
That’s not all, though. Pearl Jam also announced an enormous world tour will be taking place throughout 2024.
During this, they’ll be hitting Europe, the Americas and Australia.
Eddie Vedder was ecstatic about the return, as he commented: “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 agreed with Vedder’s comments, adding: “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.”
