Stone Gossard speaks about the new Pearl Jam album

Last Tuesday Stone Gossard and Mike McCready have been interviewed by Seattle based Radio KISW, Stone revealed that during the last months Pearl Jam have been recording some ideas for new songs for the band and that they are still writing and recording songs for the new album which could be released in 2019.

The new record will be completed only when Eddie Vedder will finish writing all the lyrics and will record his vocals. “I’d say that’s the hardest part, crossing the finish line with the vocals”. Gossard said there is no pressure over Eddie and that he will finish when he thinks it is the right time. “We got lots of shows to play, we’ve got a buttload of songs that we still know already. We’ll just keep playing those songs, and reinventing those, and hopefully getting some new ones at some point” he concluded.
