Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard has offered an update on the progress of the band’s new album.
While chatting with Marco Collins’ 98.9 KPNW show on June 15th 2023, Stone Gossard talked about Pearl Jam’s new album.
“We’re getting close on finishing a record with Andrew Watt”, Gossard said of the follow-up to 2020’s Gigaton. “He’s been a pop producer for years but he loves rock and we are making a great record, probably the heaviest record we have done in a long long time. There’s some really exciting things on it that makes us go ‘oh wow, this was all worth it’’”.
“It’s gonna be good and it’s gonna be heavy. It’s a full rock record. I promise you that“, he concluded.
Born in Reggio Emilia in 1980. He created pearljamonline.it in 2001 and wrote the first edition of “Pearl Jam Evolution” in 2009 along with his wife Daria. Since 2022, he is behind 2 podcasts: “Pearl Jam dalla A alla Z” and “Fuori Orario Not Another Podcast”. He has collaborated with Barracuda Style, HvsR, Rolling Stone, Rockol and Il Fatto Quotidiano. He continues relentlessly to try to find “beautiful melodies that say terrible things”.
