Pearl Jam Reveal Tracklist For New Album, ‘Gigaton’
The new record is the Seattle legends’ first since the Grammy award-winning ‘Lightning Bolt’, which was released in October 2013.
Pearl Jam have shared the track listing for their much-anticipated eleventh studio album, Gigaton which is set to be released via Monkeywrench Records/Republic Records on 27 March.
Produced by Josh Evans and Pearl Jam, Gigaton features 12 tracks including the first single, ‘Dance of the Clairvoyants’. It is the Seattle outfit’s first studio album since the Grammy award-winning Lightning Bolt, which was released on 15 October 2013.
“Making this record was a long journey,” explains guitarist Mike McCready. “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.”
Gigaton’s cover features Canadian photographer, filmmaker, and marine biologist Paul Nicklen’s photo “Ice Waterfall.” Taken in Svalbard, Norway, this image features the Nordaustlandet ice cap gushing high volumes of meltwater.
