Pearl Jam tiene la esperanza de poder sacar su disco «este año, seguro,» ha contado el guitarrista Mike McCready a Rolling Stone. Mientras prepara su viaje a Nueva Orleans, donde él tocará «The Star-Spangled Banner» y correrá una media maratón en apoyo de su buen amigo Steve Gleason, el componente de New Orleans Saint, McCready dice que sus compañeros de banda están «trabajando en demos ahora mismo, vamos a empezar a grabar bien pronto».
«Eso que ha estado diciendo todo el mundo de que está medio hecho,» dice sobre el continuador del disco de 2009, «Backspacer». «Pienso que es verdad – Tenemos 7 canciones que están relativamente terminadas. Pero después tenemos otras 15 canciones adicionales preparadas para meterse en el disco que Eddie nos puede traer, así que vamos a trabajar sobre eso.»
Pearl Jam hope to have their next album out «this year, for sure,» guitarist Mike McCready tells Rolling Stone. Preparing to travel to New Orleans, where he will perform «The Star-Spangled Banner» and run a half-marathon in support of his close friend Steve Gleason, the former New Orleans Saint, McCready says the bandmembers are «working on demos right now and we’re going to be recording soon.
«What everybody’s been saying is halfway done,» he says of the follow-up to 2009’s Backspacer. «I think that’s true – we have seven songs that are relatively completed. But then we have an additional 15 ready to go aside from any that Eddie brings in, so we’ll weed through those.»
Though he’s reluctant to categorize the album just yet – «because what I can say won’t make any sense until you hear it» – he can offer a few details.
«I would say as a cliché answer it’s kind of a logical extension of what Backspacer was,» he says. «But I think there’s a little bit more experimental stuff going on. There’s a Pink Floyd vibe to some of it, there’s a punk rock edge to other stuff.»
