Pearl Jam to begin work on new album next month
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 17 March 2011
You might think Pearl Jam have recorded enough albums by now. Not so, says bassist Jeff Ament. In fact, he’s told Billboard that the band have already written 25 songs for their next one and will begin work on shaping them into an album next month.
Of work on the follow-up to 2009’s ‘Backspacer’, Ament said: “We did a whole bunch of demos and everybody’s got a disc of 25 [songs] right now. April will be the time where we get together and learn to play all these demos and figure out which twelve to fifteen of them float to the top. Hopefully we can get something done this year”.
The band also have a documentary and book in the works, both due out later this year, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of their debut album ‘Ten’. Not only that, they’re planning to launch their own festival, which may or may not take place in September, though this, the location and the line-up are yet to be finalised.
