Pearl Jam to release new album in 2016

Great news from the Pealr Jam headquarters: the grunge titans - according to bassist Jeff Ament - will begin working on a brand new studio album, with the idea of releasing it next year. Most likely, the band will start writing and recording after the end of the South American tour, in November.

Ament, in a new interview with "Vice" (focused on his passion for skateboarding and his funding to build dozens of skateparks in the Midwest area), explained:

The band will probably try and get another record going in the next year, and I just want to build more parks in Montana. We're starting a park in Stevensville in two weeks. We just finished a bowl in Havre and there are five or six more cities I'm talking to. The way I look at it is if I'm touring and doing more things with the band I make more money. If I make more money I build more parks. It helps me get more excited about touring because I'm usually not too excited about it.

Pearl Jam's latest studio album is "Lightning bolt", which came out in October 2013. The band spent most of the following year on the road to promote it and then the musicians decided to take some time for themselves, to focus on their side projects and their lives. So, now it's time to get the ball rolling again.
