In addition to Pearl Jam’s headliner at BottleRock 2024, the band are in the process of following up their most recent studio album, 2020’s Gigaton. Guitarist Mike McCready recently revealed more about the new record, suggesting that it’s “heavier than you’d expect.”
McCready offered further details about the album in a recent interview with Classic Rock. He said ““I’m hoping it’s gonna come out [in 2024],” McCready said. “We have a bunch of songs tracked. We worked with Andrew Watt, who’s a younger pop producer-type guy, but he’s really a rock guy at heart — I think we’re his favorite band. When we were in the studio with him this past year, he really kicked our asses, got us focused and playing, song after song.”
Watt has previously worked with Miley Cyrus, Post Malone and Lana Del Rey but has also had credits on albums from other rock artists, including Ozzy Osbourne and Iggy Pop.
“It’s a lot heavier than you’d expect,” McCready added. “There’s the melody and energy of the first couple of records. Andrew pushed us to play as hard and melodic and thoughtful as we’ve done in a long time. I feel like Matt Cameron’s drumming has elements of what he did in Soundgarden.”
