Stone Gossard Says There's No Plans For New Album

 

In an interview with Anne Erickson of Audio Ink Radio on Tuesday (April 6), guitarist Stone Gossard explained that the band will likely prioritize touring above recording a new project. "Pearl Jam will definitely be back," he declared. "I think we'll probably be on the road. I mean, my hope is that we'll start playing some shows in the fall or early winter. I don't know what they're gonna be or when they're gonna be, but that's my hope. And after that, we've got a lot of makeup shows to do. We've got a lot of work to do."

As for the follow-up to 2020's Gigaton, Stone said that the band is always recording, but the idea of investing in a full-length project is not on the table right now. "We're always kind of recording and doing stuff. So, it wouldn't surprise me if we did some more recording, but there's no plans as of now," he explained. "I have no idea what we're gonna do, but I'll be ready to go when I get the call."
