According to NME, Pearl Jam is set to begin recording its follow-up to 2009's Backspacer in April.
Bassist Jeff Ament, who is at SXSW this week with his new band Tres Mts., told Billboard, "We did a whole bunch of demos and everybody's got a disc of 25 [songs] right now. April will be the time where we get together and learn to play all these demos and figure out which 12-15 of them float to the top. Hopefully we can get something done this year."
This comes during one of the biggest years of Pearl Jam's history. For the band's 20th anniversary, it plans on releasing a Cameron Crowe-directed documentary, hold its own summer festival, and re-release the classic albums Vs. and Vitalogy.
It was also announced this week that Eddie Vedder would be putting out his second solo album. This time around, it will all be based on the ukelele. You can check out two of the songs here.
