New Album "Dark Matter" Out April 19, 2024


New Album

New Album, Dark Matter, Out April 19, 2024

Pearl Jam’s twelfth studio album, Dark Matter, will be released on Monkeywrench Records/Republic Records on April 19, 2024. The album’s title track is available now exclusively on pearljam.com. Dark Matter was produced by GRAMMY® award winning producer Andrew Watt and is the band’s first release since Gigaton. 

Dark Matter is now available for pre-order HERE.

In 2023, the band retreated to 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, Dark Matter 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. 

The album’s packaging features light painting art by Alexandr Gnezdilov. The album cover art was crafted using a large self-made kaleidoscope. Each letter visible on the cover was individually captured and handwritten midair with a specially designed flashlight to create the pearlescent effect.

Pearl Jam is celebrating indie record stores with the release of a special edition of Dark Matter on April 20. Only at participating stores as part of Record Store Day. Get more information and find stores at www.recordstoreday.com

Order the 7” Single HERE.

    “Pearl Jam is celebrating indie record stores with the release of a special edition of Dark Matter on April 20. Only at participating stores as part of Record Store Day“

    Will this be a different variant of what is in the store or is it the clear version?

    Am I reading too much into this, but is there supposed to be a "black hole black" variant and a standard black 180gram? Or are the the same thing?

    I think they are just calling the standard black “black hole black”
