Pearl Jam - Dark Matter (Vinyl)

WITH 24-PAGE BOOKLET

Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame inductees, Pearl Jam, return with their highly anticipated new album Dark Matter. The band’s 12th studio album was produced by Grammy® Award-winning producer, Andrew Watt.

The follow-up to 2020’s Gigaton was written and recorded in three weeks, with the band holing up at Rick Rubin’s Shangri-La in Malibu. Andrew Watt, who produced Eddie Vedder’s star-studded 2022 album, Earthling, was tapped to produce Dark Matter. “[Watt] has encyclopedic knowledge of our history, not only as a band and how we wrote songs, but as players,” said bassist Jeff Ament. “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.”

“We’re still looking for ways to communicate,” said Vedder of the writing and recording experience. “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.”
