Pearl Jam Are Teasing Snippets Of Two Songs From New Album Gigaton

Ahead of the release of new album Gigaton at the end of the month, Pearl Jam are teasing snippets from two unheard tracks from the record: Who Ever Said, and Quick Escape.

The former track opens the record as a whole, while Quick Escape follows right after previous singles Superblood Wolfmoon and Dance Of The Clairvoyants on the tracklist. Fingers crossed that means the Seattle heroes will be teasing the remaining eight songs on the album – Alright, Seven O’Clock, Never Destination, Take The Long Way, Buckle Up, Comes Then Goes, Retrograde and River Cross – in the coming days.

Gigaton is set for release on March 27. Of the album, Mike McCready says: “Making this record was a long journey. It was emotionally dark and confusing at times, but also an exciting and experimental road map to musical redemption.

“Collaborating with my bandmates on Gigaton ultimately gave me greater love, awareness and knowledge of the need for human connection in these times.”

Pearl Jam were set to hit the road in America following Gigaton's release, but have unfortunately had to postpone due to coronavirus.
