Sound on the Sound
This week’s release of Pearl Jam’s new record BACKSPACER on their own label XX as well as a hometown return for two nights at Key Arena marks for them a step for them back into the limelight and an opportunity for Pearl Jam to showcase a record made for themselves and their fans, unencumbered by the weight of a contract or any other extraneous expectations. With that luxury of time and resources, Pearl Jam did what everyone wanted them to do: deliver a group of songs definitively the Pearl Jam of today. Thanks to the band, one lucky Sound on the Sound reader who comments on the blog’s post by Thursday September 24 at 12-noon will be randomly chosen to receive a Vinyl edition of BACKSPACER.
