The first taste of new Pearl Jam music has finally arrived. The band has shared the first single from their upcoming album Gigaton, “Dance of the Clairvoyants.”
This marks Pearl Jam’s first new song since the 2018 release of the politically charged “Can’t Deny Me,” which we know will not be included on Gigaton since the track listing was revealed yesterday (Jan. 20). That being said, it’s their first album single since Lightning Bolt came out in 2013, which makes the anticipation for the upcoming record that much more real.
The song has a more electronic feel overall, showing some musical evolution. The track also finds Eddie Vedder increasing the intensity in his vocal as the verse progresses. Bassist Jeff Ament says of the track, “‘Dance’ was a perfect storm of experimentation and real collaboration…We’ve opened some new doors creatively and that’s exciting.”
Listen to “Dance of the Clairvoyants” below and if you like what you hear, the song is now available at this location. Pre-orders for the Gigaton album are currently being taken here.
Pearl Jam fans will likely get a chance to hear “Dance of the Clairvoyants” when the group returns to the road this spring. Their North American tour starts March 18 in Toronto. See all dates and get ticketing info here.
