Listen to Pearl Jam’s high-energy, punky new single Running

Pearl Jam have unleashed a punky new two-minute single, Running.

The track follows last month’s explosive Dark Matter, which is taken from the upcoming album of the same name, and hears a fired-up Eddie Vedder singing how, ‘Lost in the tunnel and the tunnel’s getting funnelled / Like the sеwage in the plumbing / ’Cause wе left the fucking water running.’

In an interview with Spin, guitarist Stone Gossard revealed of Running: “Jeff [Ament] had the main parts for that one, and we worked it over as a band. I love the bridge. I don’t know what the hell those chords are that Mike [McCready]’s playing, but it sounds original. It’s one of the last ones we recorded at Shangri-La, and it was fun to come up with one more up-tempo song. Ed’s vocal dexterity here and on a few other spots on the album is just stunning.”

Dark Matter is due out on April 19 via Monkeywrench Records/Republic Records.
