Pearl Jam have announced that their twelfth studio album Dark Matter will arrive in stores April 19th and they’ve shared the LP’s title track as the lead single. The follow-up to 2020’s Gigaton, Dark Matter is produced by Andrew Watt (Iggy Pop, Post Malone, The Rolling Stones), who also produced frontman Eddie Vedder’s acclaimed 2022 solo album Earthling.
“We’re still looking for ways to communicate,” Vedder confides in an official statement. “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.”
To support the album’s release, the band will embark upon a world tour that commences May 4th in Vancouver and concludes November 21st in Sydney, Australia.
