(antiMusic) Don't want to wait until September to get a taste of the new Pearl Jam album? You are in luck, fans that logged into the band's Myspace page on Monday were greeted with this message "Check out your first listen of 'The Fixer' on the Pearl Jam Myspace page. This is the first single from Pearl Jam's new album Backspacer in stores September 20." While you listen to the new track at this link, here is some more info from the previous tour and album announcement: Pearl Jam announced today that they will play a series of select North American tour dates in support of their ninth studio album, Backspacer.
Scheduled for release in the U.S. on Sunday, September 20, 2009, the album will be released in the U.S. through Target, the exclusive mass retail partner, Pearl Jam's own Ten Club and independent retailers, as well as online through digital, and gaming platforms yet to be announced. Internationally, the album will be available beginning on September 21, 2009 via Universal/Island Records. The first single, "The Fixer," will be released at radio on July 20, 2009.
