It\u2019s their first album of new material since 2013\u2019s <em>Lightning Bolt<\/em>, marking the longest period of time they\u2019ve ever gone between albums. Leadoff single \u201cDance of the Clairvoyants\u201d will be released in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cMaking this record was a long journey,\u201d guitarist Mike McCready says in a statement. \u201cIt was emotionally dark and confusing at times, but also an exciting and experimental road map to musical redemption. Collaborating with my bandmates on <em>Gigaton<\/em> ultimately gave me greater love, awareness and knowledge of the need for human connection in these times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Josh Evans and Pearl Jam produced the album. Evans has previously worked as an engineer on projects for Soundgarden, Chris Cornell, Mad Season, Jeff Ament and McCready, but it\u2019s his first time producing a Pearl Jam record. Brendan O\u2019Brien has produced the vast majority of their records, but they\u2019ve also worked with Rick Parashar, Tchad Blake and Adam Kasper over the years. The photo on the cover, \u201cIce Waterwall,\u201d was taken by Paul Nicklen in Svalbard, Norway. It shows the Nordaustlandet ice cap gushing high volumes of meltwater.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The group will hit the road for a 16-date North American tour in March and April to promote the album.
