Pearl Jam Deliver ‘Sirens,’ a Heartfelt Midtempo New Song From ‘Lightning Bolt’

September 17, 2013

After a four-song leak of the new album Lightning Bolt over the weekend, Pearl Jam are kicking into high gear for the upcoming October 15th release with the debut of their new single and video for “Sirens,” the latest single off the upcoming release.

30 Best Pearl Jam Songs of All Time

The acoustic-laced ballad is a heartstrummer, but not a heartbreaker in the vein of “Come Back,” “Parting Ways” or “Black”. It’s a soft, mid-tempo jam with a rising sound and eager spirit that follows the bombastic “Mind Your Manners” single that received a full video treatment last month. While you’re at it, also listen to new songs “Future Days” and the hugely promising title track “Lighting Bolt”.

Pre-order Lightning Bolt now ahead of the album’s October 15th release. Keep an eye on Pearl Jam’s official site for more updates!
