SEATTLE – Seattle rock band Pearl Jam announced Wednesday that it will release its eighth studio album — and first since 2002 — in early May.
The self-titled CD is also its first release on its new label, J Records.
The album’s first single, “World Wide Suicide,” will be made available to radio stations March 8, and the same day the song will be available as a free download from the band’s Web site, http://www.pearljam.com.
Tour dates in support of “Pearl Jam” will be announced later this month, the band said in a news release.
Pearl Jam was formed in 1991 and rose to prominence during the Northwest’s early 1990s grunge movement. The band has sold nearly 60 million albums worldwide.
