Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament offered an update on Pearl Jam’s new album in a new NME interview.
Were you working on this album at the same time as the new Pearl Jam record?
“The last time that the band got together and did some writing, I was just finishing up this so there was a week or two where I was doing both. But I’m not sure where we’re at, I’m not sure where the band’s at. Things got busy with tour dates and that sort of stuff.”
So there’s no update as to when fans might be able to expect the new Pearl Jam album?
“There’s not. I wish I had an update for you.”
You play UK and European shows with Pearl Jam in June and July, do you have any surprises planned?
“We start rehearsals in about 10 days, so thats probably when we’ll start throwing around ideas about maybe performing old songs we haven’t played in a while or covers. We’ll certainly play [new Pearl Jam song] ‘Can’t Deny Me’.”
Pearl Jam released “Can’t Deny Me” in March, and recently wrapped up a South American tour. Jeff Ament is set to release his new solo album Heaven/Hell soon.
