It looks like Loosegroove Records will be dropping 1,000 copies of a 2024 sampler album on yellow vinyl. It includes previously unreleased tracks from Painted Shield and Brad, a new song by Stone Gossard and Ani DiFranco, and a Tigercub song remixed by Stone Gossard.</div>
<blockquote><span style="color: #666666;">Loosegroove Records is a Seattle-based record label created and run by guitarist and songwriter Stone Gossard (Pearl Jam, Painted Shield, BRAD), and drummer/Creative Director Regan Hagar (BRAD, Malfunkshun, Satchel). Distributed through The Orchard, Loosegroove prides itself on its curated and eclectic roster of artists encapsulating a broad range of musical genres. Currently working with alt-rock band Tigercub, singer/songwriter Jonny Polonsky, folksinger Mason Jennings, Painted Shield featuring blind, BIPOC, nonbinary singer, rapper, sound manipulator Brittany Davis, along with new signings, James and the Cold Gun, Zoser, and more.<br /><br />
Loosegroove Records began in the 90s releasing music from Malfunkshun, featuring Regan and the late Andrew Wood, Critters Buggin, Weapon of Choice, and punk band, The Living, which includes Duff McKagan among others. In 1998 they signed Queens of the Stone Age and released the bands' debut album as well as a few successful movie soundtracks and hip-hop compilations before taking down their shingle in 2000. They regrouped again in 2020, with a strong foundation and reputation in artist development and A&R.</span></blockquote><b>

<p></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">DARK MATTER</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s been almost four years since we’ve gotten new music
from Pearl Jam.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve had an election, a
pandemic, existential threats to democracy and the planet, a few small tours,
and an avalanche of side projects.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And
now, finally, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dark Matter’s </i>eponymous
first single has arrived.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The choice of lead single is always revealing, though exactly
what’s revealed can’t be known until we have the full record.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are times Pearl Jam will showcase
something out of left field – a <i>Who You Are</i>, <i>Nothing As It Seems</i>,
or <i>Dance of the Clairvoyants</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Sometimes these songs are essential for unpacking the DNA of the album (<i>Who
You Are</i> or <i>Nothing As It Seems</i>). Sometimes they are just a chance to
showcase something they’re proud of (<i>Dance</i>… is a full stop masterpiece but
something of an outlier on Gigaton).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But
usually the single is a guarantor for the album - a declaration of purpose
(every single since <i>Given To Fly</i>, with the exception of <i>Dance</i>)
and an approximation of the feel and sound of the record.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Pearl Jam is also an older band with a rich legacy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They defined an era, have been memorialized
in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (in fact, a quote from <i>Light Years</i> is
up on the walls in the museum), and still immediately sell out shows anywhere
in the world. But that Pearl Jam has endured and thrived creates challenges of
its own. Each new piece of music is forced to grapple with the legacy of what
came before. It forces us to ask why, for all their success, doesn’t Pearl Jam
feel like it did when we were younger?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sometimes it’s music. The criminally underrated <i>Lightning
Bolt</i> explored aging and mortality and legacy, wearing its heart proudly on
its sleeve, and is generally considered to be one of Pearl Jam’s lesser works. But
it wasn’t the themes. <i>Gigaton</i> explored the same ideas, albeit with less overt
sentimentality. However, the production felt more intimate, the performances
looser, the experience more organic. And <i>Gigaton</i> remains well regarded
within the fan community.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But sometimes it is the expectations we have for music.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most of us, as we age, don’t consume new
music with the imperial ferocity we once did.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And even if we do, new bands will rarely hit quite as hard as the ones
who were the touchstones of our youth – the songs and artists that soundtracked
our transformation from who we were into who we are and might still be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Over time those artists we depended on break
up, or worse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their music ends. And so what
music remains shoulders a heavy weight. We ask it to not only recapture the feeling
of our youth, but, in a way we are rarely conscious of, to also validate our
journey from then to now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When an older
artist finds a way to speak to us, in language simultaneously familiar and new,
we feel confident that our past experiences were all necessary steps on the
road that led us here. It's not that the music makes us feel young again as
much as it connects past and present in a way that makes us feel richer,
fuller, timeless, and alive.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All of this ran through my head, even if I didn’t realize it,
as I stayed up until midnight for the release (like I did when I was younger
and will ONLY do for Pearl Jam). I’m not just eager to hear new music, and to
get a sense of what the album will sound and feel like. I’m anxious to discover
what Pearl Jam means to me now– to see if they are still capable of embracing
my past and present, and can keep building the bridge between them.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Seems like they are.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Pearl Jam writes albums, and it’s hard to get a full sense
of what a song means without placing it in conversation with the songs that
surround it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But this also gives the
lead single a temporary purity. It gets to stand on its own, for a little
while, as a complete thought.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And with
the caveat that the experience of <i>Dark Matter</i> may change in the context
of the album, lets dive in.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Dark Matter</i> is a three-and-a-half-minute song that
feels longer and yet not quite long enough.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is simultaneously new and recognizable, and weirdly fresh. A song
that could have only come from Pearl Jam while lacking a direct 1-1 analog with
anything that’s come before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Producer Andrew
Watt is a huge Pearl Jam fan and the deep knowledge of their music he brought
to the recording process is fully on display.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The vocals feel like the 2000s era rerecording’s of Brother and <i>Alone</i>
– applying Eddie’s more weathered and grounded range to older songs he would
have once belted into space. There are vaguely electronic flourishes to the
guitars reminiscent of <i>You Are, </i>and some of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Riot Act’s</i> road weariness is present.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The deep, thunderous groove is reminiscent of
<i>Temple of the Dog</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has some of
the fragile precision of <i>Dance of the Clairvoyants </i>and at the same time
feels like it could fall apart at any moment in a way reminiscent of <i>No Code</i>.
And yet the swing for the fences bombast of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ten</i>
and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Vs</i> is all over the song. Underneath
it all, hints of <i>Binaural’ s</i> atmosphere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>All coming together in a way that feels familiar and comforting without
being repetitive or safe.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In some ways, this is the song <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Can’t Deny Me</i> very much wanted to be, but never was. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s angry, but the anger doesn’t feel
performative.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s running through some
of the same critiques embedded in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Gigaton</i>,
but while <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Gigaton</i> was noteworthy for
its inward, reflective focus and surprisingly non-judgmental tone, there is a
fierce urgency to the performances in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dark
Matter</i>, even when its playful. It embraces a clarity of purpose while
letting go of the guilt haunting <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Gigaton</i>.
If <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Gigaton </i>quietly recommits you to a
cause, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dark Matter</i> feels like a
rally. It looks outward, fosters solidarity (that chorus feels organically huge
and enveloping and should elicit a natural, rather than engineered, reaction
live), and howls at the structural but still contestable unfairness in the
world – a stance that has been at the heart of their best music since Pearl Jam
began.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dark Matter</i> is not
the most innovative song they’ve ever written, but it is elevated by some
ferocious performances.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Matt is given
the space to drive the proceedings and gives the song an immensity to help it meet
the moment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mike and Stone play sharp
and angry with an angular ferocity, and Mike’s solo rises from that space to
wrap its claws around <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dark Matter’s</i>
throat. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jeff is a little buried in the
mix, but there are moments where his chunky playing pushes through in a way
that calls to mind classic performances like <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Why Go</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The deceptively
simple structure hides many exciting flourishes – something new revealed with
each listen.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Eddie sounds great, but his voice is pushed back into the
mix. The music drives the song, and Eddie is contributing his instrument in
critical ways, rather than the band serving as his background players.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The end result feels collaborative – a band
playing together, feeding off each other’s energy. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Eddie sounds weathered and wounded, but he has
wrapped himself around his voice, keeping it in a controlled and protective
space, and when he lets it off the leash we get intense punctuation that avoids
drifting into the screechy territory that defined his work on S/T or <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Backspacer</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He sounds vulnerable, but not like a victim,
and sings like someone who has uncovered the wisdom and power and confidence at
the heart of vulnerability.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The longer <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dark Matter</i>
goes on the less measured and more unhinged it becomes. There is a rising
intensity that gets angrier the longer it goes on. The music and lyrics feel
almost extractive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A blunt drill powered
by brute, wrenching force.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Painful, destructive,
outrageous. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The performance captures the
experience of living in a world not designed for living well. This is not
presented as a revelation. It plays instead like a confirmation of known grievances
that must nevertheless be named. The central ‘dark matter’ image makes sense in
this context – the hidden substance that makes up our world is injustice. The
source of our profound alienation from each other. Oppositional and totalizing,
but only so long as it remains invisible.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dark Matter</i> is not
a youthful song. It’s not trying to recapture that energy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s why it’s successful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we get older we learn that context and
compromise define what it means to live in the world. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Gray mutes the bright, sharp colors we saw
with younger eyes, and life inevitably forces us into choices that are no
choice at all. This is both true and terrible, and to pretend the world is
otherwise would be dishonest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s why
mid and late life attempts to capture the energy and worldview of our younger
selves so often rings inauthentic and insincere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Instead, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dark Matter</i>
redefines what it means to age, and understands that, fire is not the sole possession
of youth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We never stop needing light,
heat, and potential. We just burn a different fuel to get it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dark Matter owns what we’ve learned, and
refuses to surrender to the dark, not in spite of the gray but because of it. </p>

The album’s title track is <a href="https://pearljam.lnk.to/DarkMatter">available now</a> exclusively on <a href="https://pearljam.lnk.to/DarkMatter">pearljam.com</a>. Dark Matter was produced by GRAMMY® award winning producer Andrew Watt and is the band’s first release since Gigaton.
<br /><br />
In 2023, the band retreated to Shangri-La Studios in Malibu where they simply plugged in and played under the watch of producer Andrew Watt. Writing and recording in a burst of inspiration, Dark Matter was born in just three weeks. As a result, Dark Matter channels the shared spirit of a group of lifelong creative confidants and brothers in one room playing as if their very lives depended on it.
<br /><br />
The album’s packaging features light painting art by <a href="https://alex-gnezdilov.com/">Alexandr Gnezdilov</a>. The album cover art was crafted using a large self-made kaleidoscope.

He talks with hosts, Jason and Paul, about what it's like to wait on a Pearl Jam album that seems like it's never coming.<blockquote><span style="color: #666666;">Jason and Paul welcome The Sky I Scrape / Red Mosquito legend, Stip, back to the show to discuss how we approach the impending release of new Pearl Jam. How did we anticipate and consume new Pearl Jam singles and records in the 90s vs the 2000s to now? How has the internet affected how we arrive at a new single? Everyone has their own method to consuming Pearl Jam's art...and as we anxiously await the impending new album we discuss all the ways the community responds to new music. Then the guys discuss the Lyric and Live Cut of the Week - Retrograde.</span></blockquote><a href="https://shows.acast.com/state-of-love-and-trust/episodes/the-waiting-drives-us-mad">You can give the podcast a listen here</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer">#pearljam</div>Brandon Rectorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11018460594491188053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561028687006048895.post-61030415237193221942024-02-02T21:05:00.000-08:002024-02-02T21:05:00.149-08:00Yield Turns 26<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeOlxKqUnZLLHHa8Y3OC_8qlSwxfIbbLwsdI6dgFa0azAOBL0PhnC_H4nAdvlfDpFHmhoJRJGjyUZ17QDaagQCp9Iv1mvlsrvdROs9qUx-3vLYbx0ihOq9TWgrfIgI-tzqejtYPClh-NnmkJTWOkZtx6VvvJGJGi1qbokiLHacbVN62tZwQm7z4ssmk40/s635/dte02.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="476" data-original-width="635" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeOlxKqUnZLLHHa8Y3OC_8qlSwxfIbbLwsdI6dgFa0azAOBL0PhnC_H4nAdvlfDpFHmhoJRJGjyUZ17QDaagQCp9Iv1mvlsrvdROs9qUx-3vLYbx0ihOq9TWgrfIgI-tzqejtYPClh-NnmkJTWOkZtx6VvvJGJGi1qbokiLHacbVN62tZwQm7z4ssmk40/w640-h480/dte02.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">#pearljam</div>Brandon Rectorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11018460594491188053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561028687006048895.post-30977043208790098462024-02-02T21:00:00.000-08:002024-02-02T21:00:00.138-08:00Happy Birthday, Boom Gaspar!<p> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVwjFKbyw7VeD4blX9Ilyd3X7cwfPikfFnGGJ7eVNQjE4Q93zLp3tBZ_TYUVklFztpsSGljugisGUR_rDsM6U0cfNPpkSSuqV-sJtb8HUkhCLtEOnTyywfVWRQrx_K4QvyP2atrjxdwNAtFNZx8_w4DDdGnpaeEnXHd6qNglE6WbNaJwwC158CVasCo1E/s1024/boom-robskinner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="1024" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVwjFKbyw7VeD4blX9Ilyd3X7cwfPikfFnGGJ7eVNQjE4Q93zLp3tBZ_TYUVklFztpsSGljugisGUR_rDsM6U0cfNPpkSSuqV-sJtb8HUkhCLtEOnTyywfVWRQrx_K4QvyP2atrjxdwNAtFNZx8_w4DDdGnpaeEnXHd6qNglE6WbNaJwwC158CVasCo1E/w640-h426/boom-robskinner.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Credit: Rob Skinner</span></td></tr></tbody></table></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">#pearljam</div>Brandon Rectorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11018460594491188053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561028687006048895.post-43478491816918583972024-01-31T19:24:00.000-08:002024-02-12T21:26:30.841-08:00New Album? --- It's Definitely a Thing!<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicSYBqK7H2qtx42wFx2u8iTSjcLbDYjMlFHZ208I6f2UjHtYDiOEBZeGtGfSChjDlByVkMx5b2AaT1iAX1fAES1X6UILHfMLWiKygwzRTsrt7V8U0yPgg7v4epPhIxH6As5x4FDWS5hfD_bjHwjTDc4qdhUEpEQjF_o11LXf14W6BDDlzTtvPGVdOHJJc/s891/1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="595" data-original-width="891" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicSYBqK7H2qtx42wFx2u8iTSjcLbDYjMlFHZ208I6f2UjHtYDiOEBZeGtGfSChjDlByVkMx5b2AaT1iAX1fAES1X6UILHfMLWiKygwzRTsrt7V8U0yPgg7v4epPhIxH6As5x4FDWS5hfD_bjHwjTDc4qdhUEpEQjF_o11LXf14W6BDDlzTtvPGVdOHJJc/w640-h428/1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>We won't tease you with rumors of a name and tracklisting, but there is DEFINITELY a new Pearl Jam album out there. Their biographer, Jonathan Cohen, has heard it. <a href="https://www.spin.com/2024/01/pearl-jam-new-album-playback/">According to Spin Magazine</a>, they debuted the album at Troubadour in West Hollywood earlier today.</p><blockquote><span style="color: #666666;">Specific details such as song titles and lyrics are being kept under wraps for now, but SPIN can confidently report that the album offers a little bit of everything for the longtime Pearl Jam fan. “No hyperbole — I think this is our best work,” enthused Vedder, who later poured tequila shots for the assembled audience. “I couldn’t be prouder of us as a band,” added Ament, who briefly got emotional while describing the experience of making the album.</span></blockquote>
We even get a little idea of what we can expect to hear.<blockquote><span style="color: #666666;">The LP features several intense rockers that showcase the ever-powerful drumming of Matt Cameron and the panache of guitarist Mike McCready, whose solos are more prominent here than on 2020’s Gigaton. One has a chorus particularly tailor-made for chanting and fist-pumping.
<br /><br />
A couple songs nod to the chiming, acoustic-flavored sound of the late Tom Petty, while another has the loping, off-kilter feel of past Pearl Jam tunes such as “Parachutes” and “All Those Yesterdays.” Thematically, Vedder is writing about human connection (or lack thereof), aging, parenting and the state of the world. “We’re still looking for ways to communicate,” he said.</span></blockquote>
Other than Rob Skinner (Pearl Jam's Fan Club Kingpin) posting a vague post about today's date, we still don't know when to expect the album, but it's going to break our brains if we don't hear something this week!<div class="blogger-post-footer">#pearljam</div>Brandon Rectorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11018460594491188053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561028687006048895.post-10962263551531564682024-01-29T09:31:00.000-08:002024-01-29T09:34:51.530-08:00Painted Shield 3: New Music and Pre-Order<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidhSKAcnxlyYCfjpItpHaJ6IMWysXG6qO4UI5EvRd_cUzUwMSLg5eE3RYlmA7sgPUodQWGuinF7hY-Tdu0MWs6c_Jts7ElZ0KBIMJpjw6twC5c2k1EaLiwxBteK2PCubpoYFEduY-b9w5Hkl3nOi6-VKgCHL0l64bONHE961LMali1Bxa1uuc_YREYjmY/s955/ps3.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="654" data-original-width="955" height="438" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidhSKAcnxlyYCfjpItpHaJ6IMWysXG6qO4UI5EvRd_cUzUwMSLg5eE3RYlmA7sgPUodQWGuinF7hY-Tdu0MWs6c_Jts7ElZ0KBIMJpjw6twC5c2k1EaLiwxBteK2PCubpoYFEduY-b9w5Hkl3nOi6-VKgCHL0l64bONHE961LMali1Bxa1uuc_YREYjmY/w640-h438/ps3.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Painted Shield, Stone Gossard's band with Brittany Davis, Mason Jennings, Matt Chamberlain, and Jeff Fielder, has announced that their third album, titled "Painted Shield 3" will be released on July 26th, 2024.</p><p>You can pre-order <a href="https://shop.brooklynvegan.com/products/painted-shield-painted-shield-3-lp">a limited copy on "Bone Vinyl"</a> at the Loosegrove Store on Brooklyn Vegan (only 1,000 available).</p><p>You also have a chance to see Painted Shield live in Seattle on March 2nd.

"Why wasn't this a Vault release?." And "Is it because there are nine songs missing?"</p><p>We speculated yesterday whether a drunk monkey may be running the Vault program, but honestly, sometimes recordings are hard to recover and this release was tied up in all sorts of corporate red tape.</p><p>So, when Pearl Jam announced we'd be getting this legitimate rarity on Record Store Day, most of us just cheered. This album was such a myth for years, with copies being stolen and sold for hundreds of dollars. This year, we all got a chance to get our hands of a well-mixed copy, and wow, does it sound good. </p><p>If you haven't picked up a copy, there are almost certainly some CDs at your local record store.

They also put out the album again on cassette and release a new Spacial Atmos digital format.</p><p>Reports were that every version sounded great, with MAYBE just a little lowering of drums and upping of bass in the mix, but arguments continue.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer">#pearljam</div>Brandon Rectorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11018460594491188053noreply@blogger.com
