Smells Like Alternative

Well I wasn’t going to write anymore about Pearl Jam today, but this news was just too juicy to resist.

Guitarist Mike McCready chatted with Rolling Stone late last week and informed us all that Pearl Jam is indeed working on a new album. If that great news wasn’t enough, he went on to say that the band is re-teaming with uber producer Brendan O’Brien.

O’Brien has already produced the classic Pearl Jam albums Vs., Vitalogy, No Code and Yield, not to mention his mixing skills on Binaural, Riot Act, Lost Dogs and the band’s greatest hits album rearviewmirror. So, Pearl Jam fans should rejoice, an O’Brien produced Pearl Jam album is going to be sick.

McCready added that the recording process is still in it’s early stages and that the band has already had one session with O’Brien, but will resume work with him after that band wraps up their East Coast tour.

This is going to be a great year for Pearl Jam fans!

Here’s the last collaboration between Pearl Jam and O’Brien, a cover of the Who’s “Love Reign O’er Me” from last year’s Adam Sandler flick of the same name.
