Official video is final video for the single
Pearl Jam has released the official and final video for “Dance of the Clairvoyants”, the first single from Pearl Jam’s forthcoming album, Gigaton.
“I can’t tell you how proud I am about this group of songs, ” explains guitarist Jeff Ament. “As you know, we took our time and that benefited us taking more chances. ‘Dance’ was a perfect storm of experimentation and real collaboration, mixing up the instrumentation and building a great song, and Ed writing some of my favorite words yet, around Matt’s killer drum pattern. Did I mention Mike’s insane guitar part and that Stone is playing bass on this one? We’ve opened some new doors creatively and that’s exciting.”
As previously announced, Pearl Jam will release their much-anticipated eleventh studio album, Gigaton, on Monkeywrench Records/Republic Records on March 27th in the US. Internationally, the album will be released and distributed by Universal Music Group. Produced by Josh Evans and Pearl Jam, Gigaton marks the band’s first studio album since GRAMMY award-winning, Lightning Bolt, which was released on October 15, 2013.
Gigaton’s cover features Canadian photographer, filmmaker, and marine biologist Paul Nicklen’s photo “Ice Waterfall.” Taken in Svalbard, Norway, this image features the Nordaustlandet ice cap gushing high volumes of meltwater.
In support of Gigaton, Pearl Jam will embark on their first leg of North American tour in March and April. The 16 date tour kicks-off on March 18th in Toronto and wraps with a two-date stint in Oakland April 18-19th. The group will perform at Harlem’s world-famous Apollo Theater in a special invitation-only concert for SiriusXM subscribers and Pandora listeners on Thursday, March 26th. The exclusive concert marks the first time that Pearl Jam has performed at the iconic venue and their first concert in New York City in almost three years.
Pearl Jam’s North American tour is in addition to the band’s previously announced European summer tour.
