New album artwork
Seattle‘s grunge rock veterans PEARL JAM led by titanic voice Eddie Vedder are back
in business with their 12th album, their first in 4 years, baptized DARK MATTER.
Press info: “PJ retreated to the Shangri-La Studios in Malibu where they simply plugged in and played under the watch of producer Andrew Watt. Writing and recording in a burst of inspiration, Dark Matter was born in just three weeks. As a result, it channels the shared spirit of a group of lifelong creative confidants and brothers in one room playing as if their very lives depended on it.”
Rolling Stone says: “Dark Matter is jam-packed with fist-pumping rockers, stunning songwriting, and melodies tailor-made to be shouted with the windows down.”
TUTV: My oh my, is this 2024 or 1991, the year that Pearl Jam shook the grunge world
with their debut blockbuster Ten. The veterans bark and bite again like young punk dogs. Even when they slow down (Wreckage / Won’t Tell / Waiting For Stevie) the decibels fly around.
The band go berserk on several nasty barnstormers such
as Scared Of Fear, React Respond, Running and Got To Give.
In the eye of the ruthless storm is Eddie Vedder’s sky-scraping vox sounding at times
like the young Springsteen‘s one, as monumental as the Empire State Building. Never expected that, in their 50s they would steam like in their 20s, with unbridled confidence and the amps to the max. Holy smoke! Definitely alive again
