Ahead of their massive thirty year anniversary show at London's Hyde Park BST show this summer, American rock giants Pearl Jam have released a new single. 'Dance Of The Clairvoyants' is a wicked genre-blend that anticipates an album, Gigaton, coming in March.

This new slice is a wonderful blend of rock disciplines, seeing post-punk, classic rock, electronic and a touch of psych come together on one meandering journey. It's a little LCD Soundsytem, a little Talking Heads and a total curveball. 

As Eddie Vedder sings "burn your assumptions". Hear it: 

On the lead single, Jeff Ament said:

'Dance' was a perfect storm of experimentation and real collaboration, mixing up the instrumentation and building a great song, and Ed writing some of my favorite words yet, around Matt’s killer drum pattern. Did I mention Mike’s insane guitar part and that Stone is playing bass on this one?  We’ve opened some new doors creatively and that’s exciting."
