We’re finally back, and so is Pearl Jam!

In case you haven’t heard the band had already mentioned that they were working on a new album, but a couple of weeks ago Jeff Ament gave Billboard some more info on the upcoming album.

Basically, Ament said that the band were about to head to L.A. for a two week session with Brandan O’Brien (who you should know by now since he previously produced all of STP’s album, some stuff for The Boss and of course the Pearl Jam albums Vs., Vitalogy, No Code and Yield). He said that Vedder had put down some rough vocals back in December for about half of the songs, and the rest of the band has been working on the album during a recent trip to Montana.
