Pearl Jam To Start New Album In April
Bassist Jeff Ament reveals that they have 25 demos to work on
In an interview with Billboard.com Ament revealed that the band have been working on a bunch of new songs which they will whittle down in the coming months.
"We did a whole bunch of demos and everybody’s got a disc of 25 songs right now," said Ament. "April will be the time where we get together and learn to play all these demos and figure out which 12-15 of them float to the top. Hopefully we can get something done this year."
The band have been doing extensive work recently with director Cameron Crowe on a Pearl Jam documentary. For Ament, it’s nice to be looking forward again.
"There’s been so much focus on the past," he said, "that I think all of us are really excited to make a new record and have something to look forward to because we’ve been digging in the boxes in our basement a lot the last year or so."
