Multi-platinum grunge rockers Pearl Jam have begun cooking up their twelfth studio album. That follow-up’s to 2020’s “Gigaton” isn’t expected to arrive in 2023 however. The band’s guitarist/vocalist Stone Gossard recently spoke with 101 WRIF about their progress with that:
“The plan is that we’re gonna do some more recording, and we’re gonna try to finish a record here pretty soon. There’s songs that are getting close to being done and there’s a bunch that aren’t. And we’re gonna do something here pretty soon. We’ve got demos for days. Everybody writes in the band, so now it’s really just trying to figure out what’s something different for us and what’s something exciting. And we’re working on that. I think we’ve got a good start on another record that will be hopefully good. I bet it’s gonna be 2024 before the record comes out, is my guess. But we’re working on it.”
