STONE GOSSARD TO RELEASE SOPHOMORE SOLO ALBUM AND ART COLLABORATION, "MOONLANDER", ON JUNE 25TH

New Song + Accompanying Piece of Original Artwork Available Every Tuesday for the next 10 Weeks Starting Today at pearljam.com/moonlander


Two digital EPs, Apollo and Luna, will be released on iTunes on May 7th and June 4th

Stone Gossard will release his sophomore solo album, Moonlander, on Tuesday June 25th in digital and limited edition vinyl formats via Monkeywrench Records.

The debut track from Moonlander, "I Need Something Different", is available for free download beginning today at http://pearljam.com/moonlander. Each Tuesday for the next 10 weeks, a stream of a new album track and corresponding piece of original artwork will be revealed on the site.

"Songs from the album were recorded between 2003-2011," explains Gossard. "Over the last year, I went through all of my old demos and recordings that weren’t used as Pearl Jam or Brad songs and picked my favorites. With the help of Floyd Reitsma (Studio Litho engineer), Pete Droge (Executive Producer), and Hans Teuber (multi-instrumentalist and long time Hank Khoir collaborator) I went about trying to finish them. This included lots of re-singing tracks, fleshing out and re-editing, adding new instruments..."

Moonlander consists of 11 original songs written and performed by Gossard as well as 11 accompanying pieces of artwork.

"My daughter loves to paint and draw and when she would, I would as well," says Gossard. "I hope the pieces convey a sense of freedom from formal rules and of playfulness that comes from hanging with your lovely 5-year old."

Moonlander Tracklisting:
1. I Need Something Different
2. Moon Landing
3. Both Live
4. Your Flames
5. Battle Cry
6. King of the Junkies
7. Remain
8. I Don't Want To Go To Bed
9. Bombs Away
10. Witch Doctor
11. Beyond Measure

Moonlander features appearances from Gossard's fellow musicians including Matt Cameron (Pearl Jam, Soundgarden), Matt Chamberlain, Regan Hagar (Brad, Malfunkshun, Satchel), Pete Droge, Brandon Harper, Gregg Keplinger, Keith Lowe, Barbara Ireland (The Fags) and Hans Teuber.

Moonlander EPs:
In addition to the full-length album, Gossard will release two four-song EPs on iTunes. "Apollo", comprised of the album's first four tracks, will be available on Tuesday, May 7th and "Luna", the subsequent four tracks from Moonlander, on Tuesday, June 4th.

    Hope this doesn't delay the PJ album or tour.
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    Loving 'I Need Something DIfferent'. Bassline and riff are very very cool. Imagine EV vocals on it and people would go bat-shit crazy over this.

    "I don't want to go to bed" is a very Stone song title. of those that I so miss!
    And given that songs were written in a time span from 2003 to 2011 I wonder who this "King of the junkies" is for...
    Waiting...

    "Stone Gossard will release his sophomore solo album, Moonlander, on Tuesday June 25th in digital and limited edition vinyl formats via Monkeywrench Records."

    this limited editions should be read as "limited quantities" or "limited numbered edition"? limited quantities could mean 100K, limited edition could mean 1K, 10 K and numbered if stated... I gather this limited edition as limited quantities, not number, they'll make thounsands in different runs...

    i like the song, too. Really cool artwork. The painting over the woman just looks like a bunch of random brushstrokes, but it's lying on the floor sideways, and now i see a mans face :-) yes, i already made a copy of the page. Yeah, they don't call me the family docmentian for nothing :-)

    So happy this is finally coming out, the song-a-week idea is pretty cool too :D

    Does anyone remember Stone's songs and videos that were on here about 5 years ago? Both Live, Your Flames and Beyond Measure were available then (along with Little One and Haiti), I wonder how the new versions will sound...
