Pearl Jam plans to hit the studio later this year to record its 10th album, according to bassist Jeff Ament.
Ament told Billboard.com that the band had written 25 songs for the follow-up to 2009’s ‘Backspacer’ which debuted at No.1 on the US Billboard 200.
“April will be the time where we get together and learn to play all these demos and figure out which 12-15 of them float to the top,” Ament said.
“Hopefully we can get something done this year.”
“There's been so much focus on the past that I think all of us are really excited to make a new record and have something to look forward to because we've been digging in the boxes in our basement a lot the last year or so.”
The news caps off a very busy year for Pearl Jam members with frontman Eddie Vedder currently on a solo tour throughout Australia and also preparing to release a solo album.
Meanwhile, Ament is playing at the South by Southwest festival with his new side band Tres Mts. and drummer Matt Cameron will be working on Soundgarden’s first studio album in 15 years.
A documentary covering the band’s 20-year history is also in the works.

Will that mean another tour? Usually after they've produced a new album we get a tour!
