Pearl Jam is gearing up for the release of their twelfth studio album ‘Dark Matter’ on Monkeywrench Records/ Republic Records on the 19th of April of this year! The album’s title track has just seen the light of day.
‘Dark Matter’ is going to be another example of the five man band’s grand anthemic rock sound, with its title track giving us a teaser that is barely quenching our thirst for new Pearl Jam material. ‘Dark Matter’ was born in just three weeks, and channels the shared spirit of a group of lifelong creative confidants and brothers in one room playing as if their very lives depended on it. All of the blood, sweat, tears, and energy of a storied career felt renewed and poured into this one body of work.
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.”
The band is celebrating indie record stores with the release of a special edition of ‘Dark Matter’ on the 20th of April, only at participating stores as part of Record Store Day. In support of the album, Pearl Jam will head out on a world tour this May. Special guests Deep Sea Diver (North America Leg 1), Glen Hansard (North America Leg 2), The Murder Capital (UK/EU), Richard Ashcroft (Dublin and London) and Pixies (Australia and New Zealand) will serve as support for these dates.
The tour will use all-in pricing across all North America, Europe and UK shows on this tour. This means the ticket price you see listed is the full out-of-pocket price inclusive of fees.
