Pearl Jam will be entering the studio next month to begin work on the follow-up album to 2009’s Backspacer and reveal the details of its anticipated destination festival, which will likely happen around Labor Day weekend, next month as well.
Jeff Ament told Billboard.com that the band hopes to have a record done this year. From Ament’s Billboard interview
“We did a whole bunch of demos and everybody’s got a disc of 25 [songs] right now,” Ament says of Pearl Jam’s plans to hit the studio next month. “April will be the time where we get together and learn to play all these demos and figure out which 12-15 of them float to the top. Hopefully we can get something done this year.”
Ament also said that Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder, who is expected to release a solo record in June, will likely tour the U.S. this year and that his own solo record is mostly finished.
