Inside PearlJam’s New LP ‘Gigaton’: Track by Track With Producer Josh Evans
In his most in-depth interview to date, Evans goes track-by-track on “Gigaton” with. “The mission statement for the record was, if it sounds good and feels good, go with it,” he says. “Nobody was like, how come the first verse doesn’t sound like the second verse? It was a real playful experience of going down different roads and seeing what happens.”I was 12 or 13 living in Seattle when everything was blowing up. I was right in the middle of it, which is kind of crazy to think about now.
When they did “Backspacer” with Brendan O’Brien in 2009, they needed to get some of the studio sounds into their live show. Since I had an audio engineering background, they drafted me to be the tech for [keyboardist] Boom [Gaspar] and help get that all sorted out. As a roadie, my first gig was a Pearl Jam gig, which was kind of funny since all the other backline guys had paid their dues sleeping on floors and driving vans.
Ed plays the main rhythm guitar. It’s doubled in the left and right channel. He puts all the same little pick scrapes and rhythmic accents in the same place and it sounds wild. He’s got an incredible right hand. You’re hearing him hit the strings so hard that the guitar almost wilts. The last few seconds when the drums kick back in were something that just happened. It wasn’t on the demo. That was them recording live in the room. I think it just adds to the chaos. This sounds so pretentious, but it’s almost like an overture for the symphony of the record. Some of the themes, textures and sounds you will hear later are teased here.Again, the experimental nature here is in the songwriting and the structure. For a while, what I was calling “chorus,” Ed was calling “verse.
