Pearl Jam’s new album Gigaton won’t be out until March 27, but fans can now get a taste of the sonic substance to come from “Dance of the Clairvoyants,” the first single from the forthcoming album, released Wednesday.
The song is definitely a far cry from Pearl Jam’s roots as a grunge band. The YouTube comments on the track make comparisons to David Bowie, the Talking Heads and even LCD Soundsystem—and none of it is that far off.
“‘Dance’ was a perfect storm of experimentation and real collaboration,” said the band’s Jeff Ament in a statement shared on Twitter. “We’ve opened some new doors creatively and that’s exciting.”
