Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament will release his new solo album Heaven/Hell on May 10th. He has debuted a new music video for the song “Safe in the Car.”
Ament says the new album came together almost by accident in a short Rolling Stone piece. “I usually end up having a group of songs that goes to the band, and then there are songs that don’t feel right, or they feel too personal,” he explains. “Maybe I get too far down the road with them lyrically, and I’m either apprehensive to give them to Ed [Eddie Vedder, Pearl Jam’s lead singer], or it just feels better for it to be in my voice. You keep working on these songs, and all of a sudden you have maybe a little group of three or four.”
