Pearl Jam will release their twelfth studio album, Dark Matter, on April 19 via Monkeywrench Records/Republic Records. To support the upcoming release, today the group has announced a 35-date worldwide tour this May, along with releasing the project’s title track. Produced by GRAMMY-winning producer Andrew Watt, Dark Matter marks the band’s first full-length since 2020’s Gigaton.
In 2023, the members of Pearl Jam headed to Shangri-La Studios in Malibu where they recorded the album live. Eddie Vedder said about the album: “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.”
