Grunge bigwigs Pearl Jam have confirmed their first album in four years.
Lightning Bolt will arrive in October on Monkeywrench/Republic, and will serve as the follow-up to 2009’s warmly received Backspacer. The album – their tenth – will be trailed by a new single, ‘Mind Your Manners’, which is available to stream below. A short trailer for the album is also available to watch.
