Pearl Jam has announced their highly anticipated new album, dubbed Gigaton, on March 27 via Monkeywrench Records/Republic Records in the U.S. Internationally, the album will be released and distributed by Universal Music Group. The album is their first new album in seven years, since 2013’s Lightning Bolt, which was released on October 15, 2013. The first single, “Dance Of The Clairvoyants”, will be released in the coming weeks. The album was produced by Josh Evans and the band and they have dropped a new teaser for the album.

Gigaton is available for pre-order now at PearlJam.com.

“Making this record was a long journey,” explains Mike McCready. “It was emotionally dark and confusing at times, but also an exciting and experimental road map to musical redemption. Collaborating with my bandmates on ‘Gigaton’ ultimately gave me greater love, awareness and knowledge of the need for human connection in these times.”

“Gigaton”‘s cover features Canadian photographer, filmmaker, and marine biologist Paul Nicklen’s photo “Ice Waterfall.” Taken in Svalbard, Norway, this image features the Nordaustlandet ice cap gushing high volumes of meltwater. Pre-order the album now at http://PearlJam.com
