Pearl Jam have released the second single from their upcoming 12th studio album Dark Matter, following the release of the title track last month.
New single Running is as frisky as a jackrabbit on a trampoline, with an 80mph riff, some gratuitous swearing from Eddie Vedder, and a wonky, almost minimalist guitar solo. It's a fact: More bands should release two-minute singles.
Dark Matter, which was recorded with producer Andrew Watt at Shangri-La Studios in Malibu, arrives on Planet Earth on April 19, but fans can hear it three days earlier when it plays at 500 cinemas across the globe: once in the dark, and once with accompanying visuals.
Support on the tour comes from Deep Sea Diver (North America Leg 1), Glen Hansard (North America Leg 2), The Murder Capital (UK/EU), Richard Ashcroft (Dublin and London) and Pixies (Australia and New Zealand).
