Pearl Jam have been talking about a new album for what feels like forever, and last week they began teasing something called “Gigaton” via augmented reality. To no one’s surprise, they have revealed that Gigaton is indeed the new album, their first since 2013’s Lightning Bolt.

The album is out at the end of March and was produced by Josh Evans and Pearl Jam. The cover image of melting polar icecaps is a photograph by Paul Nicklen called “Ice Waterfall.” Gigaton’s lead single is called “Dance Of The Clairvoyants” — no word yet on the rest of the tracklist, or when the single will drop.

In a statement on the band’s site, Mike McCready writes, “Making this record was a long journey. It was emotionally dark and confusing at times, but also an exciting and experimental road map to musical redemption. Collaborating with my bandmates on Gigaton ultimately gave me greater love, awareness and knowledge of the need for human connection in these times.”

In addition to the album, PJ have announced a North American tour for March and April. Find those dates below in text and video form.
