[edit] Recording
For its ninth album, Pearl Jam chose to go back to working with producer Brendan O'Brien. The new album is the group's first album to be produced by O'Brien since the band's 1998 album, Yield.[2] "At this point, I think we're willing to let somebody cut the songs up a little bit," says lead vocalist Eddie Vedder. "In the past, Brendan would say, 'It's a great song, but I think you should do it in a different key', and we'd say no. But now that we've heard Bruce [Springsteen] has listened to his suggestions, I think we will too."[3] Bassist Jeff Ament said, "He brings a brutally honest approach to what he thinks is working and what isn't, and it really moves things along...We don't get waded down with ideas that maybe aren't even that good. He's one of the few people outside of the band that we trust with our music, and we're really, really looking forward to making this record."[4]
In 2007, after Pearl Jam's 2006 tour had ended, the band members began recording demo material on their own while staying in occasional contact via e-mail. Guitarist Mike McCready revealed at the time that he had tested out some ideas with guitarist Stone Gossard and drummer Matt Cameron in separate sessions as well.[5] Rolling Stone reported in May 2008 that Pearl Jam was in the early stages of working on its ninth studio album and had already had one session with O'Brien. McCready stated in 2008 that the album is "really in its infant stages right now" and that the band had "about five ideas that have been worked on."[2]
After laying down some instrumental beds in 2008, additional demos were put to tape in December,[4] and the band's non-singing members came up with another array of material during a trip to Ament's home in Montana.[3] Ament said, "It's the first time since the first record that we've really rehearsed...instead of just going to the studio with a handful of ideas."[3] Vedder proceeded to put rough vocals on about half of the material formulated in the December session.[4] In February 2009, Pearl Jam went into the studio for a two-week session in Los Angeles, California with O'Brien.[4] It was the first time the band spent a considerable amount of time recording outside of Seattle, Washington since the band's 1996 album, No Code.[4] The band then continued to finish the album with O'Brien at his mixing facility at Southern Tracks in Atlanta, Georgia.[6]
[edit] Music and lyrics
When giving an in-depth look at the new album, Vedder stated, "The new record feels good so far—really strong and uptempo, stuff we can sink our teeth into."[3] Gossard said, "There's plenty of ballads, too...And there's some shifts in how Jeff and Matt and I are all relating—I think this record's got a chance to sound significantly different."[3] Ament said, "There's a couple of great things that Ed brought in that could be real departures for us. Whatever wave Ed caught with [his soundtrack for] Into the Wild has taken him to different places."[3] Vedder also stated, "I've tried, over the years, to be hopeful in the lyrics, and I think that's going to be easier now."[3]
[edit] Release
Pearl Jam did not re-sign its record deal with J Records, and the band will be releasing the album without a label in the United States and through Universal Music Group internationally. Pearl Jam has reached a deal with Target to be the exclusive big-box store retailer for the album in the United States, however the album will also see release through the band's official website, independent record stores, and an as-yet-unconfirmed online retailer.[7] The first single for the album will likely be released in July, however the band is still in the decision-making process for selecting a song.[7]
[edit] Packaging
The artwork for the album is being handled by editorial cartoonist Dan Perkins, who goes by the pen name Tom Tomorrow.[8] In 2009, Village Voice Media, publishers of 16 alternative weeklies, suspended all syndicated cartoons across their entire chain. Perkins lost twelve client papers in cities including Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York City and Seattle,[9] prompting his friend Vedder to post an open letter on the Pearl Jam website in support of the cartoonist.[10] The album title Backspacer is also the name of a leatherback turtle that was sponsored by Pearl Jam for Conservation International and National Geographic’s Great Turtle Race.[11]
[edit] Tour
The band has tentative plans to embark on a small tour later this year around the release of the album.[12] In August 2009, Pearl Jam will be headlining the Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival,[13] preceded by four shows in Europe and three in North America.[14][15][16] In October 2009, the band will be headlining the Austin City Limits Music Festival.[17]
