Pearl Jam have revealed their initial worldwide touring plans on their just announced new album “Dark Matter“. The renowned diamond-certified grunge band officially shared the details for that twelfth studio opus last night, along with its title track. An April 19th release date has been lined up for it.
Speaking via a press release issued today (February 13th) on the album and its accompanying tour, vocalist Eddie Vedder commented:
“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.”
Bassist/vocalist Jeff Ament added:
“What Ed said about getting us in a room at this point, we felt like we were about to make a really important record. A lot of that had to do with the atmosphere Andrew [Watt, producer] set up. He has encyclopedic knowledge of our history, not only as a band and how we wrote songs, but as players.
He could pinpoint things we did on old songs to the point where I was like, ‘What the fuck is he talking about?’ His excitement was contagious. He’s a force. I just want to say thanks for keeping us on track. I couldn’t be prouder of us as a band. I feel so grateful for the fans, but mostly for my brothers and these people I’ve made music with.”
Here’s what the band have lined up this year for the album.
