Pearl Jam have announced the release of their eleventh studio album Gigaton on March 27th. The album was produced by Josh Evans and will be their first LP since Lightning Bolt was released in October 2013. The first single called “Dance Of the Clairvoyants” is expected in the coming weeks.
Mike McCready says of the upcoming release:
“Making this record was a long journey. 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.”
