Pearl Jam – Dark Matter Album

Iconic rock band, Pearl Jam, have dropped their latest offering, “Dark Matter”, marking a glorious shift in the group’s musical direction. Released through Monkeywrench, Inc. and licensed exclusively to Republic Records, a sub-label of UMG Recordings, Inc., today April 19, 2024, the album comprises 11 tracks, all vibrating in the signature Pearl Jam resonance.

The album’s titular piece, “Dark Matter”, brings a new level of emotional depth to the band’s music sphere. The shortest song on the album, named “Running”, clocks in at just over 2 minutes, but it leaves a lasting mark with its raw evocative rhythms.
