    This is gonna be so cringey if they release link to song with the Gigaton brand still, they still have it listed as a 'new' album on their twitter.

    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

    Looks like just the visualizer right now.  The band video looks like a loop without sound that is unlisted.

    The music video will probably come out later today or this week

    I like this song. 
  • I know after the newsletter there was a lot of “be sure to drink your ovaltine” memes going around, and not without justification, but after a couple hours with this song I feel like Ralphie curled up with his Red Ryder BB Gun after a Christmas Day for the ages.

    This is a good song.

    The pre-chorus is killer.

    Ed is within his (limited) range.

    Bravo!
    Come to send, not condescend...
  • First listen i like it - agree on the pre chorus - have no idea what hes saying :) its def mumbletastic and Matts drums are a bit too prominent for me - but it gives me hope :)
